The Cape Winelands Fire and Rescue services have confirmed that the fire line in the mountains above the Weltevrede farm has not been contained.
Municipality spokesperson Jo-Anne Otto said firefighters have been working throughout the night to ensure that flare-ups on this line remain under control.
“The plans for today include active fire suppression, clearing of a fire break around the fire and if the weather permits, a controlled burn will be conducted to prevent the fire from spreading,” she added.
