The fires that raged through Ocean View, Misty Cliffs, and Kommetjie have been contained, said City of Cape Town officials.
About 200 firefighters spent Monday night fighting the flames in and around Scarborough, spokesperson Liezl Moodie said.
Firefighters were busy cooling down hotspots this morning and emergency vehicles would stay on scene to make sure there were no flare-ups.
The fire destroyed 20 structures at the Rasta Camp informal settlement. No injuries were reported.
Should anyone wish to donate food, water, clothes or house hold items to the families that have been affected by the fire, kindly drop off items at the Chas Everitt Office in Fish Hoek or the Ocean View Police Station.
