The reports that state that a brakefluid leak started the SA fire is only speculation at the moment. Investigations are underway to determine the cause of the fire.

I have it from officials on the event that (and reading the teams own statement) that the brake fluid sprayed onto the cat converter and caught alight. Apparently while on fire the starter motor suddenly started trying to turn over and the car evently moved about 30 metres on its own. =S

Says a lot about rallying in SA that a Portugese site has more coverage of the damn rally than 3 SA sites!

There are still no facts found as to what caused the fire, the crew had driven 8km's from the end of the stage, stopped three times (once to remove helmets, 2 robots) before the fire broke out so brakes don't seem to be the issue. The fire started at the right rear where various elements could be the cause.
The car is said to be returning to the UK for a full forensic inspection but for now, it does not look like we will see Charl and Greg in the Cape event
