Gauteng EMS warns of possible flooding
The Tshwane Emergency Services has issued a flood warning following heavy rains the past two days.
According to Tshwane EMS's Johan Pieterse, motorists are advised to be vigilant on the roads this morning in light of the heavy rain.
"Motorists should avoid low lying bridges as many are already flooded," Pieterse told JacaNews.
The Apies River is already flooding at Flower and Lenchen streets in Centurion with emergency personnel that are on high alert should any incidents occur.
"We are monitoring the situation but for now its best that motorists avoid low water bridges around Tshwane," Pieterse said.
Meanwhile Joburg Emergency Services has also issued a warning, saying that motorists should keep a safe following distance, reduce speed and drive with their headlights on.
Joburg EMS' Synock Matobako specifically warned that the Juksei River in Alexandra could possibly flood.
"Motorists should inform us of any flooding or flash floods in the greater Joburg area," Matobako told JacaNews.
