Mop up operations expected to start today, weather permitting

By

Mop up operations are expected to start today if expected good weather conditions materialise. The Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality’s Joint Operations Centre will remain active until Monday, June 16.

Attack in Walmer: Two vehicles were stoned after 18:00 in Victoria Drive, Walmer on Sunday night by a man in a red and white jersey. The passenger-side windows of both vehicles were damaged. One of the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality’s Disaster Management Officials witnessed the attack and escorted the victims to the Walmer Police Station to report this callous act.
