Clearing and hauling of excess mud and debris following the recent flood is still ongoing at the Malgas Pont.

While the bulk of the debris has been successfully removed, excess silt and sand deposited at the approach ramps continue to prevent vehicles from safely boarding the ferry.

The Overberg District Municipality is working to restore operations as soon as possible and is aiming to reopen the Pont to the public by Monday, 08 June 2026, at the latest.

Once reopened, the Pont will operate on a temporary schedule:
• Monday to Friday
• 10:00 – 15:00

This temporary arrangement will remain in place until the electrical infrastructure and accommodation for Pont operators have been fully reinstated. Thereafter, normal operating hours will resume.

We thank residents, businesses, and visitors for their patience and understanding as recovery efforts continue following the recent flooding.

Further updates will be communicated as they become available.
