Dozens displaced as rain, wind batter W Cape

Dozens of residents in informal settlements were displaced as heavy rain and strong winds battered Cape Town, the Southern Cape and Garden Route towns on Monday.

Gale-force winds also played a big part in fanning the flames of several fires that were burning out of control on Monday. Disaster Management spokesperson Johan Minnie said 20 people were left homeless in Lwandle, Strand, after their shacks were ripped apart by the wind.
