In Langa, a tree and wall at Lwazi Centre fell on two structures but did not cause any injuries. Officials were mopping up across Cape Town on Tuesday after strong winds and flooding damaged several houses.
Disaster Risk Management spokesperson Charlotte Powell said roofs were blown off in Masiphumelele, Fish Hoek, Rosebank, Kewtown, Sarepta and Lotus River.
The storm affected residents in UT Gardens Site B, Khayelitsha, Gqobasi, New Rest, Lower Crossroads, Driftsands, Burundi, Makhaza and Overcome Heights in Lavender Hill.
Flood kits, which consisted of plastic sheeting, were being provided by the informal settlements department while the transport department was providing milling and sand.
“Disaster Management is appealing to residents who are living in a natural watercourse to move to higher ground,” said Powell.
“Please make sure that your floor level is higher than the ground level.
