Swartberg Pass Closed!!

On the night of the 9th April, 2017 a freak cloudburst unleashed millions of litres of water over the northern sector of the pass, which sent a torrent down Mullers Kloof and washed away virtually the entire road from Malvadraai to Eerste Water. The repairs will be costly and take a long time. At the time of writing, the pass is still open from the Oudtshoorn side and Gamkaskloof, Elands Pass and Die Hel can (apparently) still be accessed. This is bad news for the little town of Prince Albert at the northern terminus of the pass, which relies on the tourism generated by the pass. Let's hope the local authorities see the repair work as a priority.
