The City
of Cape Town's Disaster Management Centre says it remains on high alert after
flooding at the weekend.
Some low-lying informal settlements have been affected
by heavy rains across the Cape Peninsula.
Non-governmental organisations are
providing residents with hot meals, blankets and food parcels.
So far the City
said that no damage to property had been reported since the wet conditions
wreaked havoc in the areas.
Mayoral Committee Member for Safety and Security JP
Smith confirmed that 33 different areas had been affected by the floods this
year, which is half of the reported number last year.
The City says it is
hoping that wet conditions will clear by Thursday, but emergency plans are in
place.
