Disaster management officials say orange level six warnings remain for the Cape Coast

CAPE TOWN - Disaster management officials say the orange level six warnings for wind, waves and storm surges along the Cape Coast will remain in place for the rest of Monday.

The South African Weather Service says a series of cold fronts are set to land throughout the week with the next storm due on Tuesday.

Districts hardest hit by the severe weather include the City of Cape Town, Overberg, Cape Winelands and the West Coast.

Residents have been urged to steer clear of beachfront and practice caution outdoors as the stormy conditions continue.

"Additional reports of flooding were received in Dunoon, Kalk Bay, Masiphumelele, Philippi, Sir Lowry’s Pass Village, Overcome Heights, Mfuleni and Mitchells Plain. Minor Rockfalls were also reported in Miller’s Point and Simons Town. The City’s departments of water & sanitation, urban mobility, urban waste management and recreation & parks are on the ground to clear roadways, unblock drains and remove fallen trees and debris in affected areas" said Cape Town City Disaster Management spokesperson Sonica Lategan.

Lategan said that the city's energy department is also attending to electricity outages, including the affected cables at the False Bay Hospital.

"Our informal settlements management branch is doing assessments in affected areas and providing flood kits where needed. Flood kits were provided to at-risk communities prior to the winter season as a flood mitigation measure. Our NGOs are assisting with humanitarian relief in the form of blankets, hot meals, hygiene packs, and baby packs."

The City has advised residents to contact the SPCA if they encounter animals in distress due to the adverse weather.
