A blaze has threatened a game at the Groote Schuur Camp last night at the Table Mountain National Park.

Fire fighters battled with the out-control fire all night.

Phumeza Mngxashe from Table Mountain National Park told a leading newspaper that that the wind made the fire stronger.

Cindy Witten from Bush Radio said she could see the fire from her house in Parow.

Fortunately no injuries were reported and it is not yet known what had started the fire. Ian Schnetler from City’s fire department could not be reached for a comment.
