The City of Cape Town’s Disaster Risk Management stated it is continuously monitoring high-risk areas as adverse weather conditions persist across the metro.
Charlotte Powell, the Disaster Risk Management spokesperson, mentioned that while monitoring continues, they are also assessing the need for humanitarian and engineering relief where impacts have been reported.
Areas including Khayelitsha, Gugulethu, Wallacedene, Macassar, Sir Lowry’s Pass Village, and Nomzamo in Strand have all experienced flooding due to heavy rainfall. ‘The Roads Department is assisting in unblocking roadways and providing milling and sand in some areas. The Electricity Department is dealing with weather-related outages,’ Powell said.
Downpours are expected to persist throughout the day, and assessments on the ground are ongoing as reports come in.This could result in roofs being blown off, trees being uprooted, power lines being affected, and a risk for road users, particularly in high-sided vehicles. ‘The public is advised to be very careful outdoors and to ensure that outdoor furniture and other loose items are secured, to minimise the risk of damage or injury,’ Powell said.
