The fire raging on Table Mountain has largely been contained with no immediate threat to properties and people.
While the winds are still high, firefighters have extinguished a handful of hotspots on the mountain.
The fire destroyed parts of the University of Cape Town and the Rhodes Memorial Restaurant when it broke out on Sunday morning.
A 35-year-old man has since been arrested.
Cape Town Mayor Dan Plato says it's one of the most devastating wildfires to ever hit the Western Cape.
