The De Bos dam level in Hermanus officially pushed past the 70% mark over the weekend - a goal that has not been reached in four years.

The water situation improved dramatically because of generous rain that fell since May 2020 onwards.

Hermanus had 143 mm of rain during August 2020, which makes a total of 521.8 mm for 2020 to date, compared to the long-term average of 447 mm for the period January to August over the last 50 years.  The total annual average rainfall for

Hermanus over the last 50 years is 626 mm, a number that has not been reached since 2014

Overstrand launched operation Lungisa in Hermanus on 21 April 2022, to enhance its law-enforcement efforts against those who are contravening the Municipal by-laws and regulations across the Overstrand.

Numerous law enforcement stakeholders will join forces to address a wide range of offences in the foreseeable future with the aim of combatting Xenophobia and related intolerances. This will include but not be limited to business licenses, immigration status, trading in illicit goods, fire safety, illegal liquor outlets and general crime prevention.

“Lungisa”, we are coming for you, is an initiative of the Deputy Mayor Lindile Ntsabo.

On addressing those present Neville Michaels, Director of Protection Services, stated that his directorate will be taking a no-nonsense approach when it comes to safety.
