Last Saturday, the residents of Boggomsbaai demonstrated extraordinary compassion when, without any prior warning, they extended care to vulnerable strangers and displaced people.
Following incidents of racial violence in areas including Aslapark and KwaNonqaba, approximately 200 homeless individuals were urgently relocated to the local community hall for safety. Although the authorities were responsible for their care, essential supplies such as food, blankets, and basic necessities could not be provided immediately.
It was at this moment that the people of Boggomsbaai stepped forward with remarkable generosity. Around 14:00, police convoys arrived at the hall carrying exhausted and traumatised individuals, including women and children, many hungry, dehydrated, and in some cases, with only the clothes on their backs.
My single call to the Boggomsbaai Ratepayersโ€™ Association sparked an overwhelming outpouring of support. Donations of hot soup, bread, clothing, and blankets flowed in. Even from Gouritsmond, bakkie loads of clothing, shoes, and blankets arrived (thank you, Hanlie).
Among those seeking shelter were tiny babies still dependent on breast milk, including a three-week-old set of twins, several young children under the age of ten, and individuals bearing visible injuries. Many had fled burning homes, escaping with little more than their lives, carrying deep fear and uncertainty about what lies ahead.
The people of Boggomsbaai responded with such dignity and compassion, demonstrating that humanity knows no boundaries.
A sincere word of thanks to Ben, Dieter, Marietjie, Frits, Marna, and Nelda, and to every resident who, without hesitation, extended help and practically lived out the spirit of Romans 12.
Special thanks to Marna for her care and support, particularly to the women and children. The toys kindly donated by grandparents from their cupboards helped ease the trauma of a cold and uncertain environment.
Thank you to all who travelled to nearby towns to purchase supplies, even emptying bread shelves to help, especially considering that Boggomsbaai has no convenience store.
Thank you, Boggomsbaai.
May our community never again have to witness such tragedy.

Verlede Saterdag het Boggomsbaai se inwoners, sonder voorafkennis, uitsonderlike omgee teenoor weerlose vreemdelinge en ontheemde mense getoon.
Na voorvalle van rassegeweld in onder andere Aslapark en KwaNonqaba moes sowat 200 hawelose mense vir hul veiligheid inderhaas na die plaaslike gemeenskapsaal gehaas word. Hoewel verskeie owerhede verantwoordelik was vir hul versorging, kon noodsaaklike sorg soos kos, komberse en basiese benodigdhede, nie dadelik voorsien word nie.
Dit is toe dat Boggomsbaai se gemeenskap met ongekende vrygewigheid toegetree het. Teen ongeveer 14:00 het โ€˜n polisiekonvooi by die saal aangekom met sowat 200 uitgeputte en getraumatiseerde mense, onder meer vroue en kinders, honger, ontwater en in sommige gevalle, met slegs die klere aan hul lyf.
โ€ข My enkele oproep na die Boggomsbaai-belastingbetalersvereniging het gelei tot โ€™n oorweldigende stroom bydraes; warm sop, brood, klere en komberse, sanitรชre ware en sorg vir die babas! Selfs uit Gouritsmond het bakkievragte klere, skoene en komberse opgedaag (baie dankie, Hanlie).
Onder die vlugtelinge was piepklein babas wat nog van moedersmelk afhanklik is, insluitend โ€™n drie-weke-oue tweeling, verskeie jong kinders onder tien, selfs mense met sigbare beserings. Baie het uit brandende huise gevlug en net betyds aan die dood ontkom, met groot angs en onsekerheid oor wat die toekoms inhou.
Boggomsbaai se mense het hierdie ontheemdes met menslikheid en deernis ontvang en bewys dat medemenslikheid geen grense ken of oordeel fel nie.
โ€™n Opregte dankie aan Ben, Dieter, Marietjie, Frits, Marna en Nelda, en elke inwoner wat sonder huiwering gehelp het om Romeine 12 in praktyk uit te leef.
โ€™n Spesiale woord van dank aan Marna vir haar besondere sorg en bediening, veral aan die vroue en kinders.
Die speelgoed wat oupas en oumas uit hul kaste gebring het, het baie van die trauma vir die kleingoed verlig.
Dankie ook aan inwoners wat na omliggende dorpe gery het om voorrade aan te koop en winkelrakke leeg gekoop het, veral aangesien Boggomsbaai nie โ€™n geriefswinkel het nie.
Dankie, Boggomsbaai.
Mag ons gemeenskap nooit weer sulke omstandighede beleef nie.

๐Ÿšง The DR 1525 to Gouritsmond (via Vleesbaai) remains closed until further notice. Due to continued heavy rainfall this week across the catchment area, floodwater is currently moving strongly down the Gourits River. This has further heightened safety risks in and around the affected crossing. Motorists are reminded that the road and low water bridge are not safe to use and must not be attempted under any circumstances.

The Gourits River catchment is one of the largest in the Western Cape, draining a vast area of approximately 45,700 kmยฒ from inland regions through mountainous terrain to the Indian Ocean. Despite much of the basin being semi-arid, it is highly prone to flooding due to a combination of natural factors:
โ€ข Large, fast-draining catchment: Rainfall across a wide area is funneled into a single river system, increasing flow volumes rapidly.
โ€ข Mountainous topography: Water flows quickly from steep mountain slopes (such as the Langeberg and Swartberg ranges), accelerating runoff.
โ€ข Highly variable rainfall: The region experiences intense, episodic storms (e.g. cut-off lows), delivering large volumes of rain in a short period.
โ€ข Dry soils and degraded land: Limited vegetation and poor infiltration increase runoff and intensify flood peaks.
As a result, rivers that are often low-flowing can rise rapidly during heavy rainfall events, creating a significant flood risk for downstream communities.
โš ๏ธ Road users are urged to avoid unnecessary travel in the area and to adhere to all road closure signage.
