A cold front will set in over the Western Cape by Wednesday evening, 24 May 2023, resulting in cold, windy and rainy weather conditions on Thursday.

Moderate to fresh (17– 35km/h) West to North-Westerly interior winds can be expected ahead of the cold front on Thursday.

Rapid clearing behind the cold front on Friday, 26 May 2023, will lead to mainly fine and cold weather conditions, continuing into Saturday.

On Sunday, 28 May 2023, another cold front is expected to set in over the Western Cape with cloudy, cold, windy and rainy conditions.

Danny Cat (Daantjie Kat), recently paid a visit to Lukhanyo Primary in Zwelihle to demonstrate good road safety habits. He was accompanied by traffic officer Noluthando Kedama from the Overstrand Municipality Traffic Services Department.

The visit was aimed at interacting with the grade R learners to create more awareness towards road safety with the emphasis on pedestrian safety.

The road safety mascot also teaches the children what they should do when doing things like crossing the road.

Morris Tshabalala, principal of Lukhanyo Primary, said it is important to educate children from a young age about road safety because most of them do walk to school and then they have to be aware of their surroundings.
