# The Western Cape government says recovery operations are continuing after recent severe storms caused widespread damage across the province. Eskom reports about 70-percent of the nine-thousand reported electricity faults have been repaired, but challenges remain in flood-hit and remote mountain areas. More than half of the 400 damaged roads have also been restored. The MEC for Local Government, Environmental Affairs and Development Planning, Anton Bredell, says humanitarian relief efforts are also ongoing, urging residents to remain patient as work continues.
