BOLAND IN FLAMES

THE Western Cape Boland seems engulfed in flames on Sunday as firefighters battle to contain three seperate blazes. Firefighters in the Boland winelands are battling on Sunday to safeguard houses as the fire spreads towards Ceres from Tulbach A second fire in the Klein Drakensberg mountains near Stellenbosch is moving up the mountain, although no houses and property are in danger on Sunday afternoon. And yet another Boland firefighting team is battling a fire in Du Toit’s Kloof, which started in the early hours of Sunday when a bakkie caught fire after an accident.
