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.
Warning:Due to the heavy rain the ground is saturated which means that ponds could be formed and parents are advised to be extremely careful that their children do not play in the dormant water even if the soil turned into sludge. The condition of the soil could lead to dangerous conditions.
