Residents in the Western Cape, Northern Cape and Eastern Cape have been urged to be on the lookout for veld fires as heatwave conditions continue.
The warning from the South African Weather Service for the severe heat and potential fires was set to be in place until last night.
Firefighters continue to tirelessly battle wildfires amid the heatwave.
Cape Town recorded 64 vegetation fires over a 24-hour period with visitors to Table Mountain’s Silvermine reserve having to be evacuated.
In the Cape Winelands District ground crews were engaged in active firefighting at two fires.
In the Pearl Valley area a blaze that broke out on Saturday has been largely contained.
The district municipality was more concerned about a fire raging at Robertson Valley, where the blaze from a lightning strike threatened property and farmlands.
Members of the public in all affected areas have been reminded to be watchful for fires, and to stay out of the sun and stay hydrated.
