James-Brent Styan, spokesman for Western Cape Local Government MEC Anton Bredell, said the storm predicted by the South African Weather Service (SAWS) hit the Western Cape at approximately 11pm on Tuesday night.
"The good news is that across the province to date, we have had no reports of fatalities or serious injuries, although some evacuations have been made and a handful of injured citizens taken to hospital by Emergency Services,"he said.
