“This has affected parts of the Krugersdorp CBD, Krugersdorp North and Monument,” he said.

He urged motorists to drive with caution in the affected streets, as the burst pipes have created obstructions.

Trump added that repair work is currently underway, but there is no estimated time for when the water supply will be restored.
