Certaines écoles du district sud-africain de Garden Route restent fermées à la suite des récentes inondations et des dégâts causés par le vent qui ont coupé l'accès à plusieurs communautés.

Le centre de gestion des catastrophes de Garden Route a signalé des fermetures en cours dans les zones touchées. Les municipalités ont réalisé des progrès dans la réouverture des routes à travers la région. Le responsable des catastrophes, Gerhard Otto, a déclaré que des colis alimentaires continuent d'être distribués dans les zones isolées. "Des colis alimentaires sont acheminés vers Avontuur et Kammenassie pour être distribués dans les zones coupées du monde où nous pouvons accéder", a-t-il précisé. Environ un millier de personnes restent hébergées dans des salles municipales pendant que les évaluations des logements se poursuivent. Les autorités prévoient d'acheminer des fournitures par voie aérienne vers les zones inaccessibles le 13 mai si les conditions météorologiques le permettent, et les résidents pourraient regagner leur domicile une fois que le beau temps sera revenu.
