🌧️ Patrick Sbu on Cape Town Flood Chaos as Severe Storm Hits Western Cape

Loading player...
on the show we check in with Patrick Sbu, who is based in Cape Town, as severe storms continue to cause disruption across the metro. Heavy rainfall, strong winds of up to 78km/h, and flood warnings have left parts of the city facing serious flash flood risks and difficult travel conditions.

While Cape Town battles wet and windy weather, Johannesburg and Pretoria are enjoying clear, sunny skies — a sharp contrast in conditions across the country. Patrick Sbu shares what it’s like on the ground, how residents are coping, and what the situation really looks like beyond the weather reports.
