Press Release

More heavy downpours predicted - Drakenstein Municipality advises Newton residents to not go home yet

12 July 2024

While the water level of the farm dam that is at failure risk above Newton, Wellington, remains unchanged for now, Drakenstein Municipality is asking residents who have voluntarily evacuated their properties to not go home yet.

This call comes in the light of a series of cold fronts predicted to move over the Western Cape this weekend, bringing accumulated rains after a week of cold fronts that have already saturated the soil, says the South African Weather Service (SAWS).

Since Tuesday night (9 July 2024), approximately 900 households have voluntarily evacuated their homes in Newton – in particular the section between Jan van Riebeeck Drive and the Bo-Dal Road – and are currently residing with family members and friends.

Following the advice of engineering experts and dam specialists, and being in constant contact with the owner of the 150 000-cubic-meter farm dam in the Bo-Dal area, the Municipality advises residents to rather stay clear of the area in the interest of their own and their families’ safety. Members of the Municipality’s Engineering Services department also frequently monitor the dam’s water level.

The SAWS has issued an orange Level 6 warning for disruptive rain (more rainfall and possibly thundershowers and light hail) for the southwestern parts of the Western Cape, with heavier downpours predicted for the southern parts of the municipalities of Drakenstein, Witzenberg and Stellenbosch on Saturday into Sunday. Over the 48 hours, rainfall accumulations of 60-100 mm are expected in mountainous areas.

Due to the rain-on-rain scenario, the soil moisture content is saturated, which means that any rainfall will likely cause run-off and flooding to take place, according to the SAWS. It warns of possible impacts such as flooding of roads, low-lying bridges and settlements; damage to property and infrastructure; and disruption of essential services and traffic flow.

In the meanwhile, Drakenstein Municipality’s Fire and Law Enforcement Services are doing patrols in Newton, while additional security is being provided by a neighbourhood watch.

The Municipality will assess the situation in Newton again tomorrow and will communicate with the community, advising them on the best way forward.

The Municipality reiterates that residents should only pay attention to the Municipality’s official messages on the Newton situation, and not rely on various social media messages being circulated in this regard.

To report an incident, residents can:

• Contact their ward councillor. The contact details of all ward councillors can be found here: Drakenstein - Contact-a-Councillor;
• Contact the Municipality at 080 131 3553 toll free (all hours); or
• Report non-emergency service issues via the Municipality’s SeeClickFix app which can be downloaded here: iOS: https://apple.co/3T4bnJa or Android: https://bit.ly/3T0VtiC.

In case of an emergency, residents can contact the Municipality at 080 131 3553 toll free (all hours).

Strictly for fires, contact the Municipality’s Fire Services at 021 872 2323 (all hours).

To donate items, residents can drop off any donations at the Paarl Fire Station, Berg River Boulevard, Paarl (open all hours).

Severe storm prompts school closures across Cape Town Metro and surrounding districts

By Staff Reporter

Cape Town — 10 July 2024 — In response to severe storm warnings, schools across the Cape Town metro districts, Cape Winelands, Overberg, and parts of the West Coast district will be closed on Thursday, 11 July, 2024.

This decision follows extensive consultations with the Provincial Disaster Risk Management Centre and the South African Weather Service (SAWS).

The closures, aimed at ensuring the safety of learners and teachers, will affect public ordinary and special schools in the following education districts:

Metro Central Education District
Metro East Education District
Metro North Education District
Metro South Education District
Cape Winelands Education District
Overberg Education District
Circuit 1 and 2 of the West Coast Education District (Malmesbury and Picketberg areas)

School officials have communicated the closures to parents following an official notice from the Head of Department. Other schools in the remaining districts will remain open unless specific approval for closure is granted on a case-by-case basis.

"Our default position is always to keep schools open, but we are mindful of the severity of the warnings in place and the damage already caused in certain areas," stated Bronagh Hammond, the Western Cape Education Department (WCED) spokesperson.

To date, 20 schools, primarily in the Cape Winelands district, have received permission to close due to storm-related issues. Over the past few days, 137 schools have reported some form of infrastructure damage, with 49 cases requiring urgent attention.

“I am extremely proud of our infrastructure team who are rapidly addressing the reports coming through. It is not easy in these continued extreme conditions; however, they are determined to reduce further damage and ensure structural safety,” stated Hammond.

All schools are expected to reopen on Friday, 12 July, 2024, though this will depend on weather predictions for the end of the week. Authorities will evaluate conditions to determine if further closures are necessary.

The storm has already caused significant disruption, underscoring the importance of swift and coordinated responses to ensure the safety of the school community.

Residents are urged to stay informed and take necessary precautions as the weather situation develops. — the Iliso LaBantu News
