Late summer in Cape Town brings hot temperatures, strong winds and dry conditions. These months place increased pressure on our environment, infrastructure and communities.

This year, fire season remains at its peak, the City has urged reduced water consumption due to low dam levels and below-average rainfall predictions, and heatwave warnings have also been issued.

Preparedness is not about alarm – it is about awareness and shared responsibility. As always, your CID remains available for matters relating to public safety and urban maintenance, so please always report any relevant incidents.
