Statistics point to a quieter EasterStatistics point to a quieter Easter<img alt="" src="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/PublishingImages/City%20news.jpg" style="BORDER:0px solid;" />It was a mixed bag this Easter <span>​​​​​​<p>‘It was a mixed bag this Easter – we are grateful for the decline in cases of interpersonal violence and other categories that are very often linked to alcohol abuse, and the fifteen percent increase in vehicles checked as part of Operation Exodus is also very encouraging. On the streets, our enforcement services put in the hard yards, resulting in a surge in firearm confiscations and related arrests. Drunk driving arrests increased slightly year on year – testament to the efforts of staff to keep our roads safe, but I am disappointed and concerned about the number of incidents involving pedestrians … there were at least four pedestrian fatalities this past weekend – three of them occurred on the N2 and R300, and all after dark. As winter approaches, we will step up our pedestrian education efforts and it is hoped that our planned additional deployments along the N2 for the new financial year could also assist in driving down the number of pedestrians crossing the road illegally,’ said Mayoral Committee Member for Safety and Security, Alderman JP Smith. </p><p>The City's Public Emergency Communication Centre recorded 2 086 incidents over the Easter long weekend – a 23% drop from the 2 725 incidents in 2024.  </p> <figure class="subtopic-fullsize-img"> <img class="responsive" src="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/Media%20Images%202/One%20of%20the%20many%20firearms%20recovered%20by%20MPD%20in%20the%20past%20week.jpeg" alt="" style="width:1069px;" /> </figure></span><span><p>This included 910 medical calls, 37 fire incidents, 125 cases of assault, 50 domestic violence cases and 54 road accidents.</p><p>In general enforcement, the City’s agencies made 273 arrests and issued 60 587 fines for various offences – compared to 305 last year, and 62 710 fines issued.</p><p>Drunk driving arrests increased slightly from 25 to 28. </p><p>The City’s Traffic Service arrested 27 motorists in the past week – 20 for driving under the influence and seven for various other offences.  <br> <br>Officers also executed 997 warrants of arrest, impounded 216 vehicles and recorded 48 921 offences.</p> <figure class="subtopic-fullsize-img"> <img class="responsive" src="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/Media%20Images%202/A%20vehicle%20is%20checked%20during%20Operation%20Exodus.jpeg" alt="" style="width:1069px;" /> </figure></span><span><p>Operation Exodus, which focuses on vehicle and driver fitness in the long distance transport industry saw 562 vehicles undergoing checks, up from 487 in 2024.</p><p>The Law Enforcement Department arrested 196 suspects and issued 6 521 notices for various by-law transgressions. </p><p>Metro Police officers made 50 arrests, including eight for drunk driving, issued 2 334 fines for various traffic and by-law transgressions and confiscated 12 firearms.</p> <figure class="subtopic-fullsize-img"> <img class="responsive" src="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/Media%20Images%202/A%20breathalyzer%20reading%20at%20a%20roadblock.jpeg" alt="" style="width:1894px;" /></figure></span><p>In their most recent success, officers teamed up with SAPS at approximately 17:00 on Monday, 21 April and arrested a 28-year-old suspect for the possession of illegal firearms and ammunition. </p><p>They responded to a tip off of guns being sold in the parking lot of a shopping centre in Hanover Park.</p><p>Officers recovered two pistols and seven rounds of ammunition.

These were serious incidents that could have resulted in fatalities were it not for the swift actions of lifeguards, bystanders and emergency services.</p><p>Regrettably, 14 fatal drownings occurred along the coastline, which is equal to the number recorded last season. Of these, 12 victims (86%) were male and four (28,6%) were under the age of 18.</p><p>‘Our sincerest condolences go out to those who lost loved ones to drowning this season. Our lifeguards do all they can to save lives and are dedicated to ensuring each season is as safe as possible,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Community Services and Health, Councillor Francine Higham.</p><p>With lifeguards going off duty, the public is reminded that the risk of drowning remains present, especially during the off-season when supervision is limited.

City gears up for winter by smashing sewer jet-cleaning recordCity gears up for winter by smashing sewer jet-cleaning record<img alt="" src="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/PublishingImages/Our%20stormwater%20system%20Header.jpg" style="BORDER:0px solid;" />As we approach winter, the City of Cape Town’s Water and Sanitation Directorate showcased its ongoing work to prepare the City’s infrastructure for the anticipated rains<span><p>With more than R78 million allocated to proactively maintain sewer systems, the City’s teams have been hard at work throughout the year, ramping up efforts as the rainy season nears. These initiatives aim to ensure that the City’s sewer pipelines, pump stations, and river systems are in optimal condition to handle the increased volume.</p><p>By the end of March, the teams had already exceeded their annual cleaning target, clearing 281km of sewer pipelines - smashing the initial 200km target and surpassing the 266km record cleaned in the previous financial year.</p><p>In launching the Directorate’s Winter mitigation and preparedness campaign, the Mayoral Committee Member for Water and Sanitation, Councillor Zahid Badroodien joined a routine sewer cleaning operation in Sisulu Street, Wallacedene, where the team performed sewer cleaning operations through jetting the sewer lines and used the bucket cleaning method along with cleaning sandtraps. </p> <figure class="subtopic-fullsize-img"> <img class="responsive" src="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/Media%20Images%202/City%20gears%20up%20for%20winter%20by%20smashing%20sewer%20jet-cleaning%20record%202.jpg" alt="" style="width:1082px;" /> </figure></span><span><p>To further enhance service delivery and responsiveness to sewer overflows, the City has invested significantly in technology and infrastructure. This includes:</p><ul><li><div style="text-align:justify;">23 new sewer response jet-vac trucks, valued at R53 million,</div></li><li><div style="text-align:justify;">Eight new dedicated sewer response teams and</div></li><li><div style="text-align:justify;">The Reactive Incident Management Application (RIMA), a digital platform enabling accurate incident tracking and efficient dispatch of teams.</div></li></ul><p>These efforts are complemented by major upgrades to bulk sewer infrastructure and pump stations, along with ongoing proactive cleaning programmes.</p><p>‘Throughout the year, and especially during winter, we need to keep our sewer networks free from blockages. With more water entering the system during rainy months, proactive cleaning helps reduce overflows, ensuring both sewer and river systems can manage the increased volume.</p><p>‘Our teams remain on high alert and will continue to monitor and respond to any issues that may arise. Extensive work has already taken place across Cape Town and will continue over the coming months,’ said Councillor Badroodien.</p> <figure class="subtopic-fullsize-img"> <img class="responsive" src="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/Media%20Images%202/City%20gears%20up%20for%20winter%20by%20smashing%20sewer%20jet-cleaning%20record%203.jpg" alt="" style="width:949px;" /> </figure></span><span><p><br>The City manages a vast network of 10 000kms of sewer pipeline and 487 pumpstations amongst other infrastructure, such as sandtraps along the network. Preparations for winter include:<br>• Jetting main sewer pipelines and using combination cleaning units<br>• Clearing sand traps, pump station sumps, and wet wells<br>• Monitoring telemetry alarm systems for pump stations<br>• Rapidly repairing collapsed sewer lines<br>• Replacing broken, stolen, or damaged manhole covers<br>• Repairing electrical and mechanical components on critical pump stations<br>• Inspecting properties for illegal stormwater-to-sewer connections<br>• Educating the public through ongoing campaigns like Bin It, Don’t Block It, which encourages proper waste disposal and discourages flushing inappropriate items down toilets and drains</p><p><strong>Flood prevention</strong><br>In addition to the sewer network, the City manages an extensive natural and engineered river system, which includes canals, rivers, culverts, ponds, vleis, and stormwater dams. Proactive work in this area includes:<br>• Cleaning litter traps, ponds, canals, and culverts<br>• Monitoring for potential blockages and dispatching teams where needed to prevent flooding</p><p><strong>Important reminder: Keep manhole covers in place</strong><br>During last winter’s heavy rains, images circulated of manhole covers being removed to allow rainwater to enter the sewer system. This behaviour has severe consequences. Stormwater should flow into the stormwater network, not the sewer system. Overloading the sewer network can lead to significant overflows and environmental pollution. Residents are urged not to tamper with manhole covers under any circumstances.</p> <figure class="subtopic-fullsize-img"> <img class="responsive" src="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/Media%20Images%202/City%20gears%20up%20for%20winter%20by%20smashing%20sewer%20jet-cleaning%20record%204.jpg" alt="" style="width:2043px;" /> </figure>​​</span><span>​​</span><p><strong>How residents can help prevent sewer overflows</strong><br>• Only flush human waste and toilet paper.

Prevent blocked sewersPrevent blocked sewersThe City has an excessively high number of sewer blockages each year. On average, we attend to nearly 300 sewer blockages every day. Clearing these blockages makes our operational costs higher.GP0|#0549bc50-a20a-4870-897a-a249a9f2ce90;L0|#00549bc50-a20a-4870-897a-a249a9f2ce90|City-Connect;GTSet|#ef3a64a2-d764-44bc-9d69-3a63d3fadea1;GP0|#c529c1ac-1f8d-48ae-8079-d34f4dae9c57;L0|#0c529c1ac-1f8d-48ae-8079-d34f4dae9c57|Explore and enjoy;GP0|#245ec7aa-a528-4cd3-bcac-597c292db711;L0|#0245ec7aa-a528-4cd3-bcac-597c292db711|Family and home;GP0|#af370586-9ba3-404a-9d6e-02066ca42752;L0|#0af370586-9ba3-404a-9d6e-02066ca42752|Local and communities;GP0|#e88ff549-973f-4e3c-a46c-cfbe61bd6a24;L0|#0e88ff549-973f-4e3c-a46c-cfbe61bd6a24|Work and business1<a href="https://www.capetown.gov.za/Family%20and%20home/residential-utility-services/residential-water-and-sanitation-services/prevent-blocked-sewers"><img alt="" src="/_layouts/15/IMAGES/icgen.gif">prevent-blocked-sewers</a><img alt="" src="https://resource.capetown.gov.za/cityassets/PublishingImages/Prevent%20blocked%20sewers%20in%20your%20home%20Header.jpg" style="BORDER: 0px solid; ">Normal
