SEVERE WEATHER: They don’t call it the Cape of Storms for nothing!

SEVERE WEATHER leads to service disruptions after Cape storms

The rain subsided and the cleanup begins. The insurance firms will have their hand full with processing all the claims after this one. People lost their lives, and their livelihood, in one of the most sever weather events in the Cape in recent years. Roads are gone, roofs are gone and crops are gone. The cleanup starts now. Upwards and onwards.
