Smoke From Table Mountain Fire Hangs Over Cape Town

Precautionary evacuations got underway in a Cape Town suburb on April 19 after a fire spread towards the Vredehoek area overnight, the city council said.

Table Mountain National Park’s fire manager said three fires tore through the park on Sunday.

One fire reached the University of Cape Town, where students were evacuated and parts of a library destroyed.
