HUMANITARIAN groups and authorities are spanning saam to help mense affected by this week's brutal Cape storm.

Heavy rains and cold weather have battered the Mother City for the last two days.

Widespread flooding was reported from across the city, with informal settlements and poorer communities on the Cape Flats taking the full force of the woeste weer.

In the Cape Winelands, the overflowing Breede River has resulted in the closure of the Slanghoek and Scherpen-heuwel bridges and Slanghoek Road. Parts of Worcester and Drakenstein have also reported localised flooding.
