Western Cape Premier Alan Winde has provided an update on preparations undertaken by the Western Cape Government and stakeholders to manage the impact of a severe weather system that has already affected parts of the province.
Strong winds have already pummelled various areas, fuelling fires, particularly in the Cape Winelands – most of which have been contained.
“Our message to residents and visitors to the province is that we know that there is severe weather already impacting us. We have mobilised all of our resources to be on standby to respond where needed and we appeal to travellers to not take unnecessary risks and listen to the instructions of law enforcement and traffic authorities. Please co-operate and work with us.
“We also know that inclement weather always impacts the vulnerable in our communities and we are mobilising resources to support them too. As always, our frontline services and disaster management teams are out and responding – thank you for all you…
