A truck has overturned in Kaaimans Pass, Wilderness. Officials have closed one double lane, direction George to Wilderness. The second lane en route to George has been converted to a two-way traffic lane, vehicles traveling to and from George are not affected.
Traffic officials have been deployed to regulate the traffic flow. Further details will follow once we receive further updates.
After 18 consecutive days of no loadshedding, it will remain suspended until further notice. This positive development is attributed to the sustained availability of generation capacity and emergency reserves.
A total of 2 150MW of generation capacity is planned to be restored by Monday. Eskom will provide an update on Wednesday afternoon or promptly communicate any significant changes should they occur.
Tonight’s evening peak demand is 25 886MW. Unplanned outages were reduced to 12 850MW, while planned maintenance is currently at 7 368MW. (Eskom)

The food trading sector is responsible for adherence to Food Safety Management Procedures at all times.
Environmental Health Practitioners (EHP) from the Garden Route District Municipality (GRDM), are represented within each local town and are responsible for enforcing legislation pertaining to, amongst others – food premises.
According to Johan Compion, GRDM Senior Manager: Municipal Health and Environmental Services: “Food premises refer to any premises where food is being manufactured, processed, produced, packed, prepared, kept, offered, transported, stored, or displayed for sale or for serving to the public in any serving area”.
The current Regulation Governing General Hygiene Requirements for Food Premises, the Transport of Food and related matters is known as Regulation 638 of 22 June 2018, promulgated under the Foodstuffs, Cosmetics and Disinfectants Act, 1972 (Act 54 of 1972). In terms of duties of a person in charge of food premises, Regulation 638 states the following in article 10:
“10. A person in charge of food premises shall ensure that-
(10) an animal, subject to the provisions of any law, is not kept or permitted in a room or area where food is handled, except that –
(a) a guide or service dog accompanying a person with a disability may be permitted in the sales or serving area of the food premises.
(b) fish, molluscs, or crustaceans may be kept alive until prepared for consumption.”
No animal (including any domestic pet), is allowed at any food premises or any area where food is being served to the public, with the exemption of the above scenario.
