WEMBLEY SQUARE LOSES ITS ROOF + EXTENSIVE PICS OF CAPE TOWN’S WIND DAMAGE

Most Capetonians will know all about the radically powerful wind that was blowing on Sunday. Whilst the Safe House stood strong and came out the other side unscathed, the same can not be said for Wembley Square – the Faircape development in Gardens.

Residents would have definitely not been impressed by the resultant vibe. But not as much as King James ad agency, which operates on that very level!

Our reporters were obviously on the scene as it happened.

Needless to say they did not use Leith Roofing when building Wembley Square. What a pity.

Sheesh, that really was a powerful wind!. But the nice thing about it is that it blows away all the toxins and pollution and dirt in the air. That’s why, a few years ago, I named it “The Cape Doctor.”

We’ve got TONS more photo’s of Cape Town’s wind damage from yesterday. So follow the link below to check it out.
