Die totale daminhoud van die damme in die Wes-Kaap se voorsieningsnetwerk, staan tans op 70%.

Dit het gedaal van verlede week se 71.2% en weer gestyg vanaf 2020 se 56.1%.

Die afgelope naweek se hittegolf wat die Swartland getref het, kan grotendeels vir die daling verantwoordelik gehou word.

Warm weer word ook vir die res van die week voorspel.

Die Bergrivierdam is nou 72.2% vol, in vergelyking met verlede week se 73.5% en verlede jaar se 67.9%.

Die Laer-Steenbrasdam se vlakke is nou by die 58.4%-merk, waar dit verlede jaar dieselfde tyd op 55.2% gestaan het.

Verlede week was die dam 60% vol.

Die Theewaterskloofdam is nou 74.7% vol.

Verlede week het die dam se vlak op 75.9% gestaan en verlede jaar op 51.8%.

Die Wemmershoekdam is nou 64.4% vol.

Verlede week het die damvlak op 66.5% gestaan en verlede jaar dieselfde tyd op 50.8%.

Die Voëlvleidam, die Swartland se enigste bron van water, het Maandag op 62.1% gestaan, in vergelyking met verlede week se 63.2% en verlede jaar se 53.2%.

Rev Abrahams bids Malmesbury a fair goodbye

The 10th of April 2021 marked the Revd Canon Craig Abrahams’ 8th year and 1 month anniversary at the parish of St Thomas the Apostle in Malmesbury.

To date, this is the longest period of time that he shared his ministry with a parish.

It was therefore laden with a bittersweet undertone, as he officiated and shared his ministry with this parish for the last time on Sunday, the 18th of April 2021.

The Parish of St Thomas the Apostle,

Malmesbury wishes to thank him for serving their parish and sharing his spiritual gifts with them.

For unselfishly sacrificing his time to spiritually uplift and guide young and old.

As Father Craig is starting a new chapter in his life, the parish is praying for God’s hand over his spiritual and emotional well-being.

Hoping that ‘the road will always rise to meet him’ as in accordance with the well known Irish blessing.

African Horse Sickness in detected Cederberg

• A southern border following the Cederberg

Local Municipality border.

- east from the Atlantic Ocean, approximately 14.5km south of Elandsbaai - linking to the N7 at the western base of the Piekenierskloof pass - following the N7 to the R303 at Citrusdal - following the R303 for approximately 19km to the Middelberg mountains to link back to the southern border of the Cederberg Local Municipality and to extend east to the border between the Western Cape Province and the Northern Cape Province.

No equines (horses, donkeys, zebras) will be allowed to move out of, into, through or within the outbreak-controlled area without a permit issued by the Western Cape Department of Agriculture's Veterinary Services.

All forms and permit applications concerning the outbreak controlled area can be obtained and submitted to info@myhorse.org.za.

Enquiries can be directed to the state veterinarian responsible for the Cederberg municipal area and the current AHS outbreak-controlled area Dr Chanel Lombard on 027 213 3106 or email chanelL@elsenburg.com.

The Western Cape Minister of Agriculture, Dr Ivan Meyer, welcomes the news that the South African Table Grape Industry reached a total intake for the 2020/2021 season of 73 million cartons. This is significantly more than the 66.15 million cartons recorded last year.

Meyer: "This is great news for the Western Cape. The current pandemic has led to an increased demand for healthy foods worldwide, causing further increased demands for fresh fruit and vegetables. Greater market access and an increase in exports will lead to an increase in jobs".

Packing is finishing this week in the Hex River region.

According to SATI CEO Willem Bestbier, the good intake volumes are welcome amidst a challenging year locally and globally due to Covid-19 and several lockdowns in most countries.

Highlighting the economic impact of the increase, Bestbier said: "Three of the five table grape production regions are in the Western Cape. Most tables grapes are exported via the Cape Town Port, which benefits downstream industries. The focus is not only on the volumes because producers had rain to contend with, wind and operational delays in the port, and global shortages of containers. Logistics and markets were

disrupted, which were not ideal for the timing of product arrivals. However, as an industry, we are grateful that we could conclude the packing season reasonably successfully.”

Bestbier continues: "While it was one of the most unprecedented seasons in our history, we are blessed with the higher volumes of product in most regions. Our farmers, producers and agri-workers remained safe. They will benefit as the industry earns much-needed foreign currency for the country while supporting rural development."

Commenting on the table grape industry's performance, Western Cape Department of Agriculture’s Senior Economist Andrew Partridge highlighted that several factors supported the increase.

Partridge: "This has been the result of good weather conditions in most regions of the Western Cape during the packing season and is attributable to substantial investments in recent years in replacing old varieties with new higheryielding varieties. As a result, the yields of table grapes per hectare have increased significantly."

"The increased demand for South African table grapes in international and local markets is good news for producers. They are likely to benefit from higher outputs without it being accompanied by lower prices," concluded Meyer.

Following the discovery of five suspected cases of African Horse Sickness (AHS) on a farm within the Cederberg Local Municipal area the Western Cape Provincial Veterinary Laboratory confirms that samples from a recent death tested positive for the AHS virus's presence.

A preliminary outbreak-controlled area which includes the Cederberg Local Municipality has now been established. The borders are: • An eastern border delineated by the border between the Western Cape Province and the Northern Cape Province.

• A western border delineated by the Atlantic Ocean.

• A northern border following the existing AHS protection zone border - from the Atlantic Ocean (between Cape Donkin and Lamberts Bay) - crossing the N7 4.5 km south of Trawal and indicated by an AHS controlled area signboard - following the Cederberg local municipality border east along the Doring river until the Northern Cape/Western Cape boundary
