The incident follows an Orange Level 6 warning for most of the Western Cape on Tuesday, which is expected to bring strong and gusty north-westerly to westerly winds over much of the province.

On Tuesday from late morning until the evening, strong to gale-force winds of 40 to 80kph are predicted over the Garden Route, eastern Overberg, eastern portions of the Cape Winelands, and southern Central Karoo.

Expect gusts to range between 90 and 120kph.

On Monday Cape Racing authorities advised that the race meeting scheduled for Hollywoodbets Durbanville on Wednesday 28 August would move to Saturday 31 August.

The racemeeting scheduled for 31 August was moved to Tuesday 3 September at Hollywoodbets Durbanville.
