The City of Cape Town says the South African Weather Service SAWS has issued a Level One warning for disruptive rainfall, expected to continue across the Western Cape throughout Friday evening.
This may lead to localised flooding and worsen already challenging conditions, particularly in low-lying areas and locations where the ground is saturated.
NGO partners are on the ground providing aid. On Friday, Gift of the Givers delivered much-needed relief to Gugulethu on the Cape Flats.
It has been a difficult three days for residents of the informal settlement of Lotus Park in Gugulethu, with no successful means of keeping water out of their homes.
Residents express frustration and fatigue, as each winter brings renewed hardship.
