Gauteng disaster management spokesperson Elias Sithole said response teams were activated on Friday in anticipation of the rain.Large parts of Gauteng were underwater on Saturday as several houses and roads were flooded.
Emergency services pulled more than 10 vehicles from the floods in Pretoria West and a wendy house caught fire after a palm tree, reportedly struck by lightning, fell onto it. Sithole said two fatalities were reported in Johannesburg. An eight-year-old pupil from Princess informal settlement and a man in his 30s from Douglasdale drowned on Saturday.
A woman drowned at Kagiso on the West Rand while trying to cross a low bridge near a water plant. Her body was not recovered. “Yesterday [Sunday] I instructed City of Johannesburg to assist the rescue teams with the search,” Sithole said.
It is Range Rover not a boat respect water and save your life.
No 4x4xfar
Redirect the water through the drainage system into man built water reservoirs. That way there will be water for the dry days but also stop the city from flooding. RIP to those that lost their lives.
