DONATION DROP-OFF POINTS AT FIRE STATIONS
We have received several enquiries from concerned residents asking where they can drop off donations for individuals who currently feel unsafe or are too afraid to return home.
Donations can be dropped off at any of the Overstrand Fire Stations in Kleinmond, Pringle Bay, Hermanus and Gansbaai. Overstrand Municipality's Disaster Management Department will coordinate the collection and distribution of donations in cooperation with the Community Policing Forums (CPFs) and other partner organisations.
The Gansbaai Fire Station is located in Buitekant Street and Kleinmond Fire Station inside the Municipal Yard in 13th Street. Approximately 100 people are currently at the Gansbaai Tourism Hall, while a further 50 people are being accommodated at the Kleinmond Town Hall.

More than 50 foreigners (mostly men but also a few women) are taking shelter in the Kleinmond Town Hall after an anti-foreigner march in the town yesterday. Most of them are Malawian, but there is at least one Mozambican among the group. The Overstrand Municipality is in the process of arranging dignity parcels and food for the group. Most of the Malawians we spoke to at the Town Hall told us that they wanted to go back to their country after they received threats that they had to leave Kleinmond by yesterday. We had reports overnight of foreigners sleeping on beaches and outside in various spots across Hangklip/Kleinmond.

March against foreigners in Kleinmond remains peaceful and without incident so far

31/05/2026

Tussen 200 en 300 mense neem op die oomblik deel aan 'n tot dusver vreedsame optog teen buitelanders op Kleinmond. Daar is 'n sterk teenwoordigheid van beide die polisie en munisipale wetstoepassers. Die groep beweeg op die oomblik deur die strate van Proteadorp op pad na Riemvasmaak waar baie van die buitelanders woon.

Inwoners van Over Hills op Kleinmond besig om byeen te kom vir n protesoptog teen buitelanders

31/05/2026

Die polisie op Kleinmond is op ‘n gereedheidsgrondslag vir die beoogde optog teen buitelanders hier vandag. Buitelanders is vroeër gedreig om die dorp teen vandag te verlaat. Baie van hulle het reeds uitgewyk na omliggende dorpe soos Bettysbaai en Pringlebaai. Die Herald het vanoggend n groep Malawiers teëgekom wat gesê het hulle gaan maar ronddwaal in die dorp en kyk wat gebeur. Hulle het nie geld of vervoer om elders heen te gaan nie. Onder die groep was twee vroue met klein babatjies van onderskeidelik 4 en 10 maande. Hulle sê hulle woon al vier jaar lank op die dorp. Die groep vertel mense van die Over Hills buurt het van deur tot deur gegaan en hulle gedreig dat hulle teen vandag uit die dorp moet wees.

KLEINMOND - Die landwye veldtog om buitelanders teen die einde van Junie uit die land te verdryf het nou ook na Kleinmond oorgespoel. Daar was gisteraand (Saterdag) ‘n optog waar plaaslike inwoners aangedring het daarop dat buitelanders moet oppak en die dorp moet verlaat teen more, Sondag (31 Mei). Ons verstaan dat daar nog ‘n optog vir moreoggend ( Sondag 31 Mei) beplan word. Ons weet dat Kleinmond se waarnemende stasiekommissaris, a.o. Francis Mzayiya intussen met die optoggangers vergader het. Ons het ook verneem dat die plaaslike polisie op bystand geplaas is vir enige gebeurlikheid wat mag voortvcloei uit die moontlike optog more. Onder is 'n foto oor Sondag se optog wat op sosiale media versprei word.
