“Yesterday’s rain was very scary, to say the least. A lot of us witnessed hail on our properties.
“The roads have been damaged very badly and the trees were also uprooted, to say the least.
“We were also left without electricity for some time after the powerlines were also damaged in the process.
“It’s quite a lot that happened yesterday and I can only imagine what other people in other areas were faced with,” said Van Vuuren.
He added that the heavy rain added to an already worsened state of municipal roads in Randfontein which are dilapidated and had resurfaced the little potholes that were fixed.
