Yesterday afternoon a fire broke out around 4pm and destroyed 700 hectares of vegetation from Table Mountain's Platteklip Gorge to Lion's head and Signal Hill, stopping just before the Twelve Apostles. A female tourist hiker died on the mountain from smoke inhalation. A man accused of starting fire, Anthony Cooper, 36, a British tourist, faces charges of culpable homicide and arson. He is alleged to have flicked out a burning cigarette while travelling.
