A woman has been injured after a tree fell on her car in Plattekloof amid severe weather conditions, in Cape Town.
Western Cape Premier Alan Winde’s office has confirmed that 10 people have lost their lives in the storms that lashed the province since the weekend.
Some of the fatalities were caused by trees that fell on vehicles due to gale-force winds and people drowning in flooded areas.
The City of Cape Town says more than 83 000 people have now been affected in dwellings across the metropole.
Strong winds and disruptive rainfall have caused widespread damage to infrastructure, schools and homes across the province.
