Boardroom Talk – First-hand experience in Hermanus shows the system CAN work

Our relocation to Hermanus coincided with what residents describe as the harshest winter in recent memory. Gale-force winds knocked down Eskom power pylons, and torrential rains delayed electrical repairs for days.
Things escalated last month when the region saw floodwaters rise to unprecedented levels, exceeding 100-year floodlines. These floods didn't just disrupt life; they obliterated significant infrastructure, washing away 57 meters of the main water supply pipes and numerous bridges.
