NATIONAL NEWS - The capital city’s flooding woes are not over as the heavy rain, which wreaked havoc across Tshwane for the past few days, is expected to continue today.
Disaster struck yesterday when flash floods and rain left parts of the city under water, leaving homes and roads damaged and hundreds of people homeless.
The five-day downpour led to street closures and emergency services rescuing people trapped by the water. Mamelodi, Centurion, Bronkhorstspruit and Soshanguve were the most affected, while potholes and flooded roads resulted in traffic congestion.
Centurion, a flood hot spot, was deep in water with the Hennops River overflowing into people’s homes. Staff and guests stranded in Centurion Lake Hotel were airlifted by military helicopters to safety.
