Ander was in die donker gehul toe dorpe vir dae sonder elektrisiteit was. Sommige is selfs haweloos nadat die stormwinde baie mense dakloos gelaat het.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dit is nie net die mense wat onder die storms deurgeloop het nie \u2013 diere het ook in die slag gebly.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Die rehabilitasiespan van die African Penguin and Seabird Sanctuary onder leiding van Xolani Lawu en dr. Annamarie Robberts het behoorlik hul hande volgehad om see- en skulpdiere te red. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Volgens Lawu is hulle oorval deur bekommerde inwoners wat hulle oor diere gekontak het. &#8220;\u2009&#8217;n Vrou van Stanford het my gekontak oor &#8216;n albatros wat sy op &#8216;n plaas buite Stanford opgemerk het. Die arme dier was letterlik windverwaaid en kon nie vlieg nie. &#8216;n Ander inwoner het ons ook gebel oor &#8216;n skua wat ernstige beserings opgedoen het,&#8221; vertel Lawu. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lawu s\u00ea die albatros het gelukkig geen beserings opgedoen nie, maar die skua het &#8216;n ernstige hou aan sy kop gehad en sy snawel is beskadig.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Die goeie nuus is dat albei hierdie geveerde besoekers, wat duisende kilometers afl\u00ea om die mees suidelike punt van Afrika te bereik, ten volle gaan herstel. Ons het hulle onder infrarooi ligte gesit, &#8216;n bietjie liefde en aandag gegee en met die regte medikasie en voeding was hulle gou weer op die been.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1001\" height=\"1024\" data-attachment-id=\"296520\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/hermanustimes\/seediere-in-wind-en-storms-beseer-african-penguin-and-seabird-sanctuary-help\/image-11\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/hermanustimes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-2.jpeg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,1228\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/hermanustimes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-2-1001x1024.jpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/hermanustimes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-2-1001x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-296520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/hermanustimes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-2-1001x1024.jpeg 1001w, https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/hermanustimes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-2-293x300.jpeg 293w, https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/hermanustimes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-2-768x786.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/hermanustimes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-2-600x614.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/hermanustimes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-2.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1001px) 100vw, 1001px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Die skua het beserings aan sy kop en snawel gehad en is behandel.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Die behandeling van die diere gaan met risiko&#8217;s gepaard.

Volgens navorsing is daar net 1,2\u2009miljoen van di\u00e9 vo\u00ebls oor. &#8220;Die getal swartrugalbatrosse neem in baie plekke af. Dit kan daartoe lei dat di\u00e9 diere ook bedreig word.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Die spanne by Marine Dynamics en die Dyer Island Conservation Trust was opgewonde om hierdie twee spesiale pasi\u00ebnte te behandel en kan nie wag om hulle vry te laat nie. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In &#8216;n ander reddingspoging is die rehabilitasiespan ook ingelig van &#8216;n gestrande seeskilpad. Gelukkig werk die African Penguin and Seabird Sanctuary nou saam met die Two Oceans Aquarium Turtle Rescue en is die seeskilpad veilig na die Two Oceans Aquarium vervoer waar hy gerehabiliteer sal word voor hy weer vrygelaat word.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Mense word aangemoedig om dadelik die reddingsnoodlyn by 083\u2009300\u20091663 te skakel as hulle op &#8216;n gestrande seeskilpad afkom.
