Mop-up operations continue after Western Cape floods

# Mop-up operations are underway across several areas in the Western Cape following the weekend’s flooding. Emergency and municipal teams are clearing debris, assessing damage, and providing basic relief to affected residents. Gift of the Givers spokesperson Ali Sablay says the focus is on restoring access, sanitation, and essential services while monitoring further weather risks. He says communities in low-lying and high-risk areas have been hardest hit, with displaced residents of informal settlements receiving temporary assistance as recovery efforts continue.
