🌧️ Standing Together Through the Weather🌧️

As we face a period of unsettled weather over the coming days, we appeal to all residents to come together as a caring and responsible community. Heavy rain, strong winds, and colder conditions can be challenging for many — but with a little extra attention and compassion, we can help keep everyone safe.
Looking After Our Pets
Our pets rely on us, especially during harsh weather. We kindly encourage all pet owners to:

Bring pets indoors or ensure they have warm, secure, weather‑proof shelter
Provide dry bedding, regular meals, and fresh water
Keep animals safely contained to prevent panic, escape, or injury

A warm, familiar space can offer comfort and protection during stormy conditions.
Caring for Livestock and Roaming Stock
Farmers and animal owners are encouraged to take extra precautions during this period:

Move animals away from low‑lying or flood‑prone areas
Secure fences and gates to prevent animals from wandering onto roads
Provide shelter from cold winds and prolonged rain where possible

Protecting livestock not only prevents loss and suffering, but also helps keep our roads and community safe.
A Shared Community Responsibility
Severe weather reminds us of the strength found in community care. Please check in on neighbours, particularly the elderly, animal owners, and those living in rural areas. Sharing information, offering assistance, and reporting hazards can go a long way in preventing harm.
Stay Informed and Stay Safe

Follow local weather updates and official advisories
Avoid unnecessary travel during periods of heavy rain or strong winds
Report flooding, fallen trees, damaged infrastructure, or animals in distress to the relevant authorities

By working together — with kindness, awareness, and responsibility — we can help protect our people, our animals, and our community during this time.
Let’s look out for one another and get through this safely, together.

🚴 Herald Cycle Tour – Road Closures in Our Area🚴

The Herald Cycle Tour is celebrating its big 40th birthday on 14 and 15 February with their annual cycling tour, and several roads will be closed — including some within our area. They will be passing by us on Sunday, 15 February.

Get ready — the cyclists will be taking on one of the most scenic and action‑packed stretches of the tour right here in our neighbourhood!
From Old Seaview Road, riders will power their way up the climb on Lakeside Road, before sweeping onto the beautiful stretch of Kragga Kamma Road. They’ll enjoy a fast descent before pushing up Butterfield Road, then looping back onto Lakeside for another energetic run.

From there, they’ll glide onto Seaview Road and make a quick turn into charming Altona Road, before joining the open flow of Draaifontein Road. The route then leads onto Old Cape Road, all the way to the St Albans turn‑off, where riders take on another exciting section before looping back onto Draaifontein.

With momentum building, the cyclists will push toward De Stades Road, before sweeping onto Maitlands Road, taking in the last of our area’s stunning views as they ride out toward the next leg of their adventure.

It’s a beautiful, challenging, and high‑energy section — and we are right in the heart of the action!

The following roads will be CLOSED:

Kragga Kamma Road (between Lakeside & Butterfield)

🔥 Dit was nie maklik nie… maar saam het ons dit gedoen! 🔥

Ons plaas gewoonlik ons boodskappe in Engels, maar omdat die onderhoud met Luister FM & Johan Cloete op Luister FM in Afrikaans was, deel ons hierdie een ook in Afrikaans.

Die afgelope paar weke was ’n groot uitdaging – die wind het nie gehelp nie, en ons het gewens vir ’n bietjie reën. As mense net weet hoe vinnig plantegroei en fynbos brand in droë weer! Die rook het selfs die N2 gesluit, en as dit nie gebeur het nie, sou daar waarskynlik baie meer ongelukke op die pad gewees het.

Nie net het Farm Comm-lede ingespring nie, maar ook soveel organisasies, die brandweer, die boerevereniging en individue wat sommer net self gehelp het. Ons probeer doen wat ons kan, help waar ons kan en red wat ons kan.

Ons sê nie dat brandstigting nie ’n rol speel nie, maar glo dat onkunde oor brande ook ’n groot faktor is.

As die gemeenskap net verstaan: julle is die grootste helde! Elke donasie – groot of klein – maak ’n verskil. Selfs ses botteltjies water wat iemand afgelaai het, het gehelp.

Ons sê dankie – aan almal wat op enige manier gehelp het. 💛 Julle het gewys wat gemeenskap beteken!

Skakel in op die Grootbek Brekfis op Luister FM 89.6/90.6 Woensdag, 14 Januarie om 08h15 wanneer ons met Johan Cloete gesels oor die vure wat die laaste ruk woed in die Nelson Mandela Baai en omliggende areas.

“Die grootste probleem is dat die toestande uiters droog is, en die kombinasie van hitte en sterk winde vererger die situasie aansienlik,” het Johan Cloete gesê.

Johan Cloete op Luister FM is nie net 'n plaaslike radio omroeper nie, maar ook die Fire Team leier by Farmcomm, en die Brandbeskermingsbeampte van die Van Stadensrivier Brandbestrydingsvereeniging.

Once again, a heartfelt thank you to all our Fire Team members, Farm Comm members, and everyone who has stepped in to assist during this challenging time. Your dedication and support do not go unnoticed.
