With another hot and dry summer taking shape, the Western Cape Government has set out its 2025/26 Summer Readiness Initiative, outlining how the province plans to handle the heightened fire risk and the expected surge of residents and visitors at coastal and inland waters.
During a briefing shared by the provincial administration today, Minister of Local Government, Environmental Affairs and Development Planning Anton Bredell detailed how these preparations form the backbone of the province's seasonal safety strategy.
In outlining the plan, the Western Cape Government stressed rapid wildfire response, water-safety support, and expanded prevention campaigns as central components of this year's readiness approach.
