CAPE TOWN - Humanitarian aid organisations in Cape Town have their hands full assisting communities affected by flooding.
According to the City of Cape Town, around 600 people in Vygieskraal have been affected by the Cape storm.
The municipality said it was attending to fallen trees and debris blocking roadways, as well as clearing drainage systems.
The City of Cape Town said it had received requests for flood kits from some residents in Lwandle, Macassar, and Khayelitsha.
It's understood that two canals overflowed, contributing to the widespread flooding on the roads.
"Any donations to assist in humanitarian relief efforts can be dropped off at the seven city fire stations that have been designated as drop-off points. These are Constantia, Goodwood, Hout Bay, Lakeside, Roeland Street, Strand and Wynberg,” said the city’s disaster management spokesperson, Sonica Lategan.
She added that donors can also email disaster.donations@capetown.gov.za for collection.
