Johannesburg, South Africa. – The South African Weather Service has hinted that heavy rains and severe thunderstorms are expected to persist in most parts of the Gauteng province in the coming days.

To date, the heavy rains have caused flooding in some parts of the province. Houses and roads have been completely flooded and trees uprooted.

Meanwhile, Gauteng departments of Health and Infrastructure Development have jointly dispatched teams to intervene at health facilities, which have been affected by the heavy rains since Friday night.

“We caution our people to move away or stay away from the rivers because they might drown in those rivers.

So this is our plea from the disaster management that they must stay away from the rivers,” said Disaster Management’s spokesperson, Sthembiso Mthombeni.
Road closures and accidents have been reported on some Johannesburg roads due to flooding. Some residents have also been left destitute as a result of the heavy downpours.
