Flood warning issued for parts of SA─── 07:53 Mon, 09 Dec 2019
The South African Weather Service has issued a flood warning for Gauteng, eastern parts of North West, north-eastern Free State and western Highveld of Mpumalanga.
Robert Mulaudzi from the Johannesburg Emergency Services has urged people to stay away from flooded roads and self-made bridges.
This after a 60-year-old woman was rescued after being swept away by strong currents while trying to cross one of these bridges in Ivory Park.
He says disaster management monitoring teams have been dispatched to all of the city's seven regions to keep a closer eye on the situation.
