Four firefighters have been injured while battling a blaze on the slopes of Table Mountain.
The flames have gutted several structures, including part of the Rhodes Memorial restaurant and a library at the University of Cape Town (UCT).
More than 200 firefighters have been battling the inferno.
Fire and rescue services' Jermaine Carelse: "An additional member from the volunteer service was also injured and was taken to hospital, so we're currently standing at four firefighters - two from the city and two from the volunteer firefighting service."
It prompted a mass evacuation of the UCT campus.
