Due to adverse weather being forecast, the Cableway Charity Challenge has been moved to Sunday May 11.

The challenge, which sees runners, walkers and joggers, undertake to climb Platteklip Gorge as many times as possible to raise money for charity between sunrise and sunset, was set to take place tomorrow, Saturday May 10.

However, the South African Weather Service has since issued a Yellow Level 4 warning for damaging winds and waves ahead of a powerful cold front expected to lash the Western Cape from this evening into Saturday.

IOL reported that the City of Cape Town's Disaster Risk Management spokesperson, Sonica Lategan, said the warning covers the Western Cape coastline, where "strong to gale-force north-westerly to westerly winds" are forecast to hit, peaking on Friday night and continuing through Saturday.

Winds are expected to ease from Saturday afternoon, but coastal residents and business owners are urged to take precaution, and are advised to remain alert for road hazards.
