Wildfires spread in South Africa
Cape Town firefighters continue to battle a fire that has spread across the south peninsula
Johannesburg - QNA
South African firefighters were Tuesday combating half a dozen wildfires raging in a mountainous area near Cape Town, on the south-western coast, broadcaster eNCA reported.
Reinforcements were being sent from other provinces to increase the number of firefighters, to about 400.
The fires have prompted the evacuation of hundreds of people. A fireman sustained burns while dozens of people were treated for smoke inhalation on Monday.
Half a dozen houses have been devoured by the flames. Two tourist lodges have also been damaged.
The high temperatures and strong winds fanning the flames were expected subside later in the week.
The cause of the fires was not immediately known.
