The Western Cape government has further urged schools in the Overberg and Cape Winelands Education Districts to inform parents and caregivers of the affected schools of the continued closure tomorrow.Parents can use the ‘Find my School’ search finder to confirm if their school falls under these two districts atmain factor being last night’s heavy rains and strong winds, which contributed towards this figure.
