# The Western Cape government says weather conditions are beginning to improve after several days of heavy rainfall across the Central Karoo and Garden Route districts. However, residents are still urged to exercise caution. One fatality has been confirmed after a person attempted to cross a flooded river. High dam levels and swollen rivers continue to pose a serious risk in low-lying areas. Local Government, Environmental Affairs and Development Planning MEC Anton Bredell says emergency services remain on standby, with humanitarian support and infrastructure repairs ongoing.
