The Western Cape Department of Health has set up isolation wards to deal with a measles outbreak that has affected more than 500 children in the province over the past few months.
It has also officially declared a measles outbreak in the province.
On Thursday the department said that as a result of an increased number of confirmed measles cases, children's health services across the province were operating under "significant pressure" to curtail the disease, which commonly affects young children.
