Johannesburg Emergency Services (JES) have urged motorists and residents to take precautions against the heavy rainfall and localized flooding affecting parts of the city.
The SA Weather Services have issued warnings of heavy downpours which is expected to last at least until Wednesday.
Joburg Emergency Services Robert Mulaudzi says there have been a number of incidents as a result of the heavy rainfall
“Following the previous incidents in which a number of roads were flooded, vehicles being swept away by strong floods, we call on our motorists and residents to take necessary safety precautions, especially those living in low lying areas like the informal settlements to monitor water levels and move to the higher ground when there is a need to do so.”
Mulaudzi says emergency services and disaster management officials will remain on high alert and continue to monitor the situation.
