CAPE TOWN - Gale-force winds and heavy ocean swells in South Africa’s Cape Town halted traffic on Monday with curious onlookers and cars drenched by sea spray foam, witnesses said. The cappuccino-coloured foam from the icy Atlantic was flung far onto the Sea Point promenade and main road, popular with runners and skaters during summer but virtually deserted in such stormy conditions, Reuters pictures and a video posted by a witness showed.

Africa’s southernmost city, Cape Town has been lashed by successive cold fronts with heavy rains and flooding accompanying the latest winter storm that landed late on Sunday in the city known globally among mariners as the “Cape of Storms”. Wind speeds of between 70-100 kmh and wave heights up to 10 metres were expected, the city’s emergency services said as it continued with mopping up operations to clear flooding and uprooted trees.

COVID-19 turned college towns into ghost towns and businesses are struggling to survive“When a university sneezes, the town gets pneumonia. Now when the university has pneumonia, what does that mean for the town?” one professor said. COVID didn’t do any of that. Moronic & Illegal overreach by local government did that. Maybe the professors can start a GoFundMe for their local towns since they are the ones that don’t think they are essential, but demand full salaries? And since schools don’t have bills for electricity and such w/o students present, give tuition breaks! You make it sound like Covid is responsible for this. The reality is, in your zeal to topple this President and Country, your reporting has done this. The lies you spread and fear you sowed caused this. How dare you now report on this like it is a naturally occurring tragedy...
