Johannesburg - A total of 11 veld fires were reported in different provinces on Friday, Working on Fire (WOF) said.

Spokesperson Val Charlton said three fires were reported in Mpumalanga and Limpopo, two in Free State and six in KwaZulu-Natal.

Some fires were still burning by late afternoon.

"Slight cooling is expected over Mpumalanga, Limpopo, Gauteng, Free State and North West on Saturday," Charlton said.

"An increase in the fire Danger Rating is expected to return on Sunday. The conditions in KwaZulu-Natal are expected to continue till Saturday."

Seven of South Africa's nine provinces have been hit recently by over 100 fires fanned by strong winds.

Firefighting helicopters were on standby for the coming weekend because more winds were expected with an oncoming cold front.

The blazes claimed several of lives and thousands of animals were killed.
