A major fire broke out in the South African parliament building in Cape Town early on Sunday.
Firefighters were present at the building as large flames and a huge column of smoke were seen at around 7.30am local time.
JP Smith, the mayoral committee member for safety and security, told local media that the alarm had been raised at 5am and that the 36 firefighters on the scene had requested more resources to tackle the blaze.
The fire started in the third-floor offices and spread to the National Assembly chamber, City of Cape Town fire and rescue service spokesperson Jermaine Carelse told local media.
No people have been injured in the fire, which was reported by security guards, Carelse said.
Images showed a mass of flames licking through what appeared to be the roof of one of the parliament buildings.
There was no indication of what may have started the fire.
