According to weather records, this is the highest temperature ever recorded at Vredendal
and the third highest temperature in South African history. The new global October heat record
was made possible by a berg wind, a hot, dry wind blowing down the Great Escarpment from
the high central plateau to the coast.

STRONGEST TYPHOON IN 21 YEARS HITS TAIWAN
Parts of Taiwan came to a standstill as super typhoon Meranti
brought the strongest winds in 21 years.

There were severe travel disruptions for the Mid-Autumn Festival long
weekend, as over 300 domestic and international flights were cancelled
and trains running along the east coast were halted.

The storm was forecast to have dumped as much as 800 mm of rain in
mountainous areas. Close to 1 500 people were evacuated from at-risk
areas, with about half placed in temporary shelters.

URBAN RENEWAL PROGRAMME TO FIGHT URBAN BLIGHT ANGERS WOODSTOCK RESIDENTS
The deadline for Bromwell Street residents in Woodstock, Cape Town, to leave their homes has been extended. One of the residents says urban renewal programmes are destroying their lives in Woodstock and Salt River.
The Woodstock Hub gained possession of 120–128 Bromwell Street in 2013 to upgrade the buildings. The director of the Woodstock Hub says these properties were supposed to be vacated. Three years later the residents say they have nowhere to go, and blame the urban renewal project and the government for their predicament.
Western Cape MEC of Human Settlements says he has offered the families housing in Delft, but they didn't want to take it. The residents say they don't want to be forced to move so far out of the city into a community that they are not familiar with.

INDUSTRIAL REGION

TRADE PORT A MAJOR BOOST FOR ECONOMIC GROWTH
'The Dube Trade Port is set to be a major logistics platform for Southern Africa, as the Port of Durban provides connectivity to 53 international destinations and access to local distribution networks,' said President Jacob Zuma.
The President launched the state-of-the-art (very modern) multibillion rand cargo terminal, trade zone, agriculture zone (the largest climate-controlled glass-covered growing area in Africa) and IT and telecommunication platform at La Mercy, KwaZulu-Natal.
Located between the two largest seaports in the Southern Hemisphere, Durban and Richards Bay, the Dube Trade Port has huge potential to boost economic growth and job creation in the province.
KwaZulu-Natal premier, Zweli Mkhize, also speaking at the launch, said the Dube Trade Port would greatly expand the province's import and export capacity.
