The South African Weather Service (SAWS) issued a Yellow Level 1 warning for waves in the Northern and Western Capes on January 13th. There is a moderate risk of modest weather-related consequences, as indicated by the warning indicator.

The weather alert is in effect from Saturday at 21:00 to Sunday at 23:59 UTC. The weather service predicted that the long-period swells will be a high-pressure weather system. Between Alexander Bay in the Northern Cape and Cape Agulhas, the shoreline may be impacted.

“A high-pressure weather system will bring long-period swells (15 to 18 seconds) closer to the west and southwestern beaches of the country.

“Within three hours, the significant wave height is expected to rise from 2.0 to 3.0 meters, and the swell period will increase from 8 to 18 seconds,” the meteorological service added.

The abrupt rise in swell duration is concerning to the weather service because it may lead to more dangerous circumstances for beachgoers, kayakers, and rock anglers.

Among the possible effects of the waves are:

Small vessels and personal watercraft may encounter navigational challenges at sea, which may result in them taking on water and capsize.
Disruption of seashore activities in a restricted area. The public is at risk of being surprised by high-energy waves and being taken out to sea, according to the weather service.

  4. Onismor Bhasera has been designated the new captain of SuperSport United by new head coach Gavin Hunt in the DStv Premiership. The veteran left-back from Zimbabwe, age 36, has replaced Ronwen Williams, who joined Mamelodi Sundowns, another Tshwane team. “He has extensive experience” (Gavin Hunt) Bhasera joined Matsatsantsa from Bidvest Wits in 2016 and has since participated in 156 games across all competitions for the team. Bash will serve as the team’s captain this year, according to a report from Gavin Hunt on Soccer Laduma. “He is a fantastic professional, and he has the experience. I believe he will accept the position since he is a leader. He will do well in this capacity, in my opinion. “It’s crucial for someone to join and be verbal and maintain the highest standards imaginable, which is true both on and off the field. Bash will succeed, I’m confident. He has my complete backing. I choose him. The vote was democratic. That was me. Being the captain carries a lot of responsibility, Bhasera continued. SuperSport is a large club, but I have to take it on with both hands and undoubtedly set an example by going out there myself. It’s going to be an exciting season because I have to play at the top of my game. “Ronwen did a great job for the club, so it’s a major loss, but it also presents a great opportunity for someone else to step forward and take his or her place. Williams has left, but that is football. The players are constantly on the move. He’ll do well at his new club, we hope. SuperSport United placed ninth in the DStv Premiership last year, but this year, larger things are anticipated from the team.
