Recent rains in the Province have caused damage all over the cape. Areas such as Cedarberg and Matzikama are among the most negatively affected areas by the showers in the Western Cape. As a result, many roads had been closed down. According to local authorities, the roads had been partially opened, allowing about five vehicles to pass through at a time.
Director of traffic for the Matzikama Local Municipality, Jan Swarts, says that there was no major damage to the infrastructure, except for the bridge connecting Vredendal to the N7, and drivers are warned to drive safely.
“The flow of the rivers have partly subsided, but the flow of the Doring Rivier seems to be the biggest concern, as they influence all of our efforts,” says Swarts.
