The Residents living in the Cape Flats in Western Cape have accused the City of Cape Town of neglecting them. Several areas in the city are flooded because of the rain that started on Sunday.
The gale-force winds that accompanied the rain caused damage to some homes.
Every year, homes in
Gugulethu, Hanover Park, and Khayelitsha flood, and locals complain that
nothing is done to stop it.
They say the city has been
focused toward catering to Cape Town's wealthy neighbourhoods.
According to Eskom, the
extreme weather conditions in the Western Cape had led to multiple faults
leaving approximately 13,000 customers without electricity supply.
“My furniture has been damaged
beyond repair, I don’t know where I will spend the night and the next coming
days and children will get sick from this cold,” said Thobelani Matshaya from
Malema informal settlement.
