Mossel Bay Fires Our hearts are with everyone aff Mossel Bay Fires

Our hearts are with everyone affected by the fires currently burning in and around Mossel Bay. These situations are incredibly stressful, and we want to recognize the courage and dedication of our firefighters, emergency services, and volunteers working around the clock to protect lives, homes, and our beautiful surroundings.

📍 For the most accurate and up-to-date information, please follow the official Mossel Bay Municipality  Facebook page.

If you are in or near affected areas, please: 

• Stay alert and follow official updates from local authorities
• Avoid fire-affected zones so emergency crews can work safely
• Check in on vulnerable neighbours, the elderly, and pets

Smoke and changing conditions can impact areas unexpectedly, so remain cautious even if you are not directly affected.

Please share verified information only — let’s keep our community informed, calm, and supported.
Stay safe, Mossel Bay and Garden Route 💛

Mossel Bay Harbour: where centuries of maritime hi Mossel Bay Harbour: where centuries of maritime history meet the modern-day hustle of fishing boats, adventure tours, and seaside strolls. Once a key stop for early explorers like Bartholomeu Dias, today it's a vibrant hub of culture, commerce, and coastal charm. Whether you're watching seals play, enjoying fresh seafood, or soaking up the ocean breeze, the harbour is the heart of this picturesque Garden Route town — timeless, salty, and full of stories.
