The South African Weather Service says the localised flooding is due to a slow moving storm over the Johannesburg and Ekurhuleni areas.
"Tomorrow we are expecting isolated showers and thundershowers in the afternoon. The probability is expected to increase on Saturday and Sunday; we are looking at a 60 percent chance of showers and thundershowers," says forecaster Dipuo Tawana.
