Tokai Forest Fires:
What started as a fire in our local forest, spread over Silvermine and across the mountains to Noordhoek, Fish Hoek, Muizenberg and Lakeside.
We are in awe of our firefighting teams and helicopters who battled relentlessly against this mammoth force of nature.
Thank you to our beekeeper, Clay, for jumping in and getting donated supplies over to the Newlands fire depot and for being on standby to assist with bakkie and trailer for any evacuations.
How you can help:
-Please drop off bottles of water, energy drinks and bars at the Lakeside or Newlands fire stations for our fire fighters.
-Please consider donating to the Cape of Goodhope SPCA who are on standby and waiting for all the clear to go in and rescue whatever wildlife they can. Alternatively please drop off Silbecor wound ointment, blankets, bandages, petfood and water at the TNCW offices at Tokai Library.
For those that visit the mountain, once it's cleared, please report any injured animals to the Cape of Good Hope SPCA: 0833261604.
Thank you to the City of Cape Town for the amazing work done! A city at work within itself.
