Cape Town – Some 7 350 people from 20 informal settlements have been affected by the heavy rains which have hit the mother city.
Areas around the Cape Flats including Gugulethu, Khayelitsha and Philippi were the most affected by the cold and rainy weather, but no residents had been evacuated from their homes.
"The rain will clear today and the cold front has subsided in areas around the Cape Town Metropole. We don't expect people to be evacuated," said Disaster Risk Management Centre head Wilfred Solomons-Johannes.
He appealed to motorists to drive carefully, to residents to make sure their roofs were intact and to clear rubble that may block storm water drains.
