14:23: Wester Cape Premier Alan Winde has reiterated that the provincial government has arranged with the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) to have its available air resources in Cape Town on standby for assistance with the ongoing wildfire on Table Mountain National Park.

Read the full statement below:

We have arranged with the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) to have its available air resources in Cape Town on standby for assistance with the ongoing wildfire on Table Mountain National Park.
Anton Bredell, the minister of Local Government, Environmental Affairs and Development Planning in the Western Cape says the SANDF was activated this morning.

“At the moment the wind is too strong and it is not safe to fly the helicopters. As soon as the weather permits, the air force will be in the air. The Oryx can carry a water payload of 2000 litres per drop. We welcome the SAAF support as always.”
Bredell says the City of Cape Town and its partners continue to tackle the wildfire despite the gale force wind.
“We want to urge the public to work with the authorities and obey all instructions. In addition, reports of people trying to access the mountain at various points for recreational purposes is concerning. People are asked to avoid the Table Mountain area while the fire remains ongoing.”
SANParks estimates that roughly 400 hectares of wildland has been destroyed so far while the City of Cape Town has reported eight structures have been damaged and/or destroyed in the fire that broke out yesterday morning. The eight structures includes four building on the campus of the University of Cape Town which has been damaged in the fire.

EThekwini Municipality

CLOSURE OF BEACHES
EThekwini Municipality with advice from KZN Economic Development, Tourism and Environmental Affairs (EDTEA) and Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife has decided to close the beaches north of uMgeni estuary due to the environmental and potential human health impacts of a chemical spillage into the Umhlanga Lagoon.
The closure will affect Beachwood, Virginia, Glenashley, La Lucia, Umhlanga Main and Bronze, Umdloti, La Mercy and Tongaat beaches, inclusive of tidal pools. Authorities are engaging with other local municipalities further north as a precautionary measure. The public are advised to avoid the beach area at this time until it is deemed safe.
Extensive environmental impacts are being reported at uMhlanga and uMdloti Lagoons and beaches in the vicinity and these have contributed to killing numerous species of marine and bird life. The pollution is considered serious and can affect one’s health if species are collected and consumed. Lagoon and seawater contact must also be avoided. The public is therefore advised to cease all activity on the above-mentioned beaches.
Clean up companies are trying to deal with the spill which originated from a chemical warehouse fire in Umhlanga, following this week's unrest. Other potential pollution sources are being investigated. Authorities are monitoring the situation closely.
Some residents in areas north of Durban are also reporting smoke residue from burned chemical products. The public can only smell it from time to time depending on the wind direction as it dissipates. Residents are advised to close windows and doors and put wet cloths over vents until smoke clears as a precautionary measure.
Please report any further pollution in the waterways or sea to the Emergency number 031 3610000.
