Potchefstroom - Management at Mooi River Mall in Potchefstroom have shut down elevator and escalator services at its covered parking as a safety precaution due to elevated water levels.
As a result of heavy rains, water is flowing down the Mooi river at a rate of about 18 000 litres per second. Parts of the North West Province have seen as much as 200mm of rain in the past three days.
