The Helderberg has been grappling with several minor flooding incidents since heavy rains began lashing the area on Wednesday (25 June) and continues through Thursday, with local authorities closely monitoring the situation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rain is expected to ease by this afternoon, with only light showers anticipated from Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The City of Cape Town\u2019s Disaster Risk Management Centre reported receiving requests for flood relief kits from Lwandle and Macassar on Wednesday, where several homes were reportedly flooded and sustained damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Thursday morning (26 June), flooding was reported along Faure Marine Drive, impacting the stretch between Broadlands and Onverwacht roads in both Strand and Gordon’s Bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Numerous rockfalls, including some large boulders, have been reported between Rooi Els and Gordon’s Bay on the R44. Motorists are being advised to exercise extreme caution when travelling along these routes or, if possible, to use alternative roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Strand, Gordon’s Bay, and Somerset West, overflowing stormwater and sewage pipes were also reported. However, many of these incidents were quickly contained and were being monitored by City services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While pleased that there have been no major floods so far, due to the subcouncil’s winter readiness programme, Subcouncil 8 chairperson Councillor Chantel Cerfotein highlighted ongoing challenges. “Mxolisi Street in Asanda Village, where ACJ Pakade Primary School is located, is a constant problem,” she stated. “Even though the City cleaned and unblocked all the drains, the illegal waste and foreign objects inside [the stormwater] systems remain an issue. We even replaced all manhole covers and re-tarred the road and surrounds. The problem is the people; and no matter how much education and awareness is done, they are relentless in seeing the City fail.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cerfontein also mentioned that a contractor is in place to address issues on De Kock Street, but noted that work is dependent on weather conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ward 83 councillor Carl Punt said that the “positive impact of the Lourens River Upgrade Project can already be seen with the minimal flooding incidents along its banks”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both councillors emphasised that the issue of flooding can only be properly assessed after the rain has subsided and if water fails to drain through the stormwater infrastructure. Low-lying areas near canals and other water bodies are likely to experience localised flooding due to the sheer volume of water in the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Helderberg residents who wish to assist with flood relief efforts, the Strand Fire Station is one of seven designated drop-off points for donations. You can drop off non-perishable goods at the station to help those impacted across the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are unable to drop off donations, you can arrange for collection by emailing Disaster.Donations@capetown.gov.za.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For any non-emergency City services, remember to use online platforms or call the Customer Call Centre at 0860 103 089. For emergencies, contact the Public Emergency Communication Centre on 021 480 7700.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
