The head of the City of Ekurhuleni (CoE) Department for Roads and Stormwater, Sizwe Cele, said the rain has caused severe flooding across the City.
“We are on the ground inspecting recurring blockages in the flooding hot spots. We are monitoring low-level bridges and unblocking stormwater channels and canals,” Cele said.

Cele pleaded with communities to use pedestrian bridges and avoid crossing flooded roads.
