“The CPF, along with our security partners, SAPS and Metro police, are on standby to provide assistance where necessary. We are urging residents to monitor their local groups and traffic groups for updates,” he said.

Oliver also urged residents reporting any damage to include key details in the descriptions.

“When sharing any information, please supply the date and time as well as the area affected to prevent circulation of old outdated messages. Also report fallen trees or infrastructure damage to the eThekwini Municipality Disaster Management (031 361 0000) and your Ward councillor,” he said.

The eThekwini Municipality also urged residents to be cautious over the strong winds.

According to disaster management teams, there are areas within the province where wind speeds have been recorded at 110km/h.
