Emergency response teams are bracing for another cold front that is expected to hit the Western Cape on Tuesday.
This after two days of severe weather caused widespread disruptions and damage throughout the province, including loss of shelter, localized flooding, fallen trees, electricity outages, and road closures.
The SA Weather Service said that more rain and damaging waves are on the cards for Tuesday, with possible flooding and mudslides.
Disaster Risk Management Centre Spokesperson Sonica Lategan said that a yellow level four warning for damaging winds and waves between Lambert’s Bay and Cape Agulhas has been issued.
“All relevant city services are already involved in emergency response efforts, and will continue to do so as reports come in. We also want to remind the public to please report any incidents to the city so that these can be attended to.”
Officials said that the cold front is set to bring strong westerly winds to the Western and Northern Cape.
The affected areas will include the Namakwa District, Central Karoo, Cape Winelands, the Overberg and the Garden Route.
