The City of Tshwane has placed emergency crews on high alert as severe thunderstorms threaten further flooding, with already saturated ground increasing the risk in low-lying areas and vulnerable communities.
The City of Tshwane has placed emergency crews on high alert as severe thunderstorms are expected to bring more flooding to the capital on Tuesday. This comes just hours after intense downpours caused flooding across several areas, including Mamelodi East, Meyerspark, Nellmapius, parts of Centurion, Willow Park, and Wonderboom. The City's Emergency Services Department received a Yellow Level 2 warning from the South African Weather Service, indicating a 60% chance of rain for the region.
Authorities have urged residents to exercise extreme caution due to the already saturated ground, which could worsen the impact of further rainfall, particularly in low-lying areas and vulnerable road networks.
