Alert

Joint media release: Western Cape Government preparations for upcoming inclement weather and start of the festive season.

The Western Cape Government (WCG) has been warned of possible severe weather over the upcoming long weekend. “At a time when we are gearing up for the start of the festive season and are expecting heightened traffic volumes as people leave from and arrive in our province, we are putting additional standby resources in place to respond where needed. However, we appeal to all our road users to please exercise even greater caution when travelling,” said Premier Alan Winde.

“We are also concerned that with the heightened levels of load shedding and the possible severe weather the situation could be further exacerbated. I will be holding an extended cabinet meeting tomorrow to meet with municipalities across the province to assess plans and preparedness for this long weekend but also the festive season as a whole,” the Premier added.

“We are approaching the current severe weather in the province with the same approach as our Winter Preparedness Strategy,” said Anton Bredell, Western Cape Minister of Local Government, Environmental Affairs and Development Planning.

Bredell said mopping up operations are progressing well in all the affected municipalities following the severe weather earlier this week in the province. “I want to thank all non-government and volunteer organisations for their significant support and assistance, especially in vulnerable communities,” the Minister added.

Bredell said the focus now shifts to the next bout of severe weather expected to affect the province from Friday into the weekend. As part of our Winter Preparedness Plan, we have identified areas at risk of flooding, and together with local governments, ensure that contingency plans are in place. This includes making sure storm water drains are cleared, low water river crossings are monitored, and facilities for vulnerable people are prepared and secured.” Provincial Disaster Management has also put aerial and ground-support resources on standby should they be needed.

Premier Winde added, “I have full confidence in our disaster management teams across the province. But I implore communities in affected regions to take the necessary precautions as this inclement weather arrives. I urge residents not to take unnecessary risks and for road users to behave responsibly. Should it be required that our provincial traffic redirect traffic to alternative routes we appeal to all road users to exercise extreme caution and cooperate with our law enforcement officers”.

The provincial government will be monitoring the situation over the long weekend and will respond as required.

CABINET APPROVES CHANGES TO COVID-19 REGULATIONS

A special Cabinet meeting held earlier today, 30 December 2021, has approved several changes to the Adjusted Alert Level 1 COVID-19 regulations.

COVID-19 Update

The information gathered through the system used by the Department of Health has reported a 29.7% decrease in the number of new cases detected in the week ending 25 December 2021 (89,781), compared to the number of new cases detected in the previous week (127,753).

Changes to COVID-19 regulations

- The curfew will be lifted. There will therefore be no restrictions on the hours of movement of people.

- Gatherings are restricted to no more than 1 000 people indoors and no more than 2 000 people outdoors. Where the venue is too small to accommodate these numbers with appropriate social distancing, then no more than 50 per cent of the capacity of the venue may be used. All other restrictions remain in place.

The risk of increase in infections is still high given the high transmissibility of the Omicron variant. Government therefore calls on all organisers of these gatherings to ensure that all health protocols are observed at all times and that all attendees are encouraged to be vaccinated.

- Alcohol establishments that have licences to operate beyond 23h00 will revert back to full licence conditions.

The wearing of masks in public places is still mandatory, and failure to wear a mask when required remains a criminal offence.

South Africans are urged to continue observing basic health protocols to prevent the transmission of the virus.

Vaccination remains the best defence against severe illness, hospitalisation and death from COVID-19. All people in South Africa who have not yet done so are encouraged to vaccinated as soon as possible. This includes people who are eligible for booster shots...
