Relentless rain, gale-force winds and widespread flooding left parts of the Western Cape reeling on Monday as emergency teams across Cape Town and surrounding areas scrambled to respond to hundreds of weather-related incidents.
In updates shared throughout the day, Smile FM highlighted the growing impact of the severe weather system sweeping across the province, with authorities confirming flooded roads, damaged homes, power outages and multiple fatalities linked to hazardous conditions.
The storm system followed devastating flooding along the Garden Route last week, intensifying pressure on disaster response teams already stretched across the province.
