Spokesperson Jo-Anne Otto said light rains aided firefighting and mopping-up efforts. The areas from Jonkershoek Valley through to Blaauwklippen Road have been fully contained. Monitoring operations will continue for the next 24 to 48 hours. A small smouldering area in the Banhoek Kloof was, however, proving difficult to contain, she said.
