    On Wednesday afternoon a fire broke out at small municipal rubbish dump off Worcester Street near Worcester Mews.

    Rhodes University staff and the Grahamstown fire brigade battled to fight the blaze in the hot and humid weather.

    By midday the fire had almost been extinguished. “We would really like to encourage people to be responsible this week’s fires have been caused in Grahamstown mostly because of natural causes, but people need to learn not to throw cigarette butts out their car windows,” said a source from the fire brigade.

    A national South African weather warning was announced by the South African Weather and Disaster Information Service (SAWDIS) on Wednesday which said that the hot and humid conditions experienced in the Eastern Cape were in favour for runaway fires and dangerously high levels of discomfort.
