Leave temporary road signs where they are! Community safety department warns
The provincial government is currently assessing the flood damages so a budget can be prepared. Citizens who remove temporary road signs are not helping the issue.
Community members are warned not to interfere with temporary road signs, especially on routes that are completely closed.
The spokesperson for the Department of Community Safety, Security and Liaison, Moeti Mmusi, said this follows the removal of temporary road closure signs on the R536 between Hazyview and Sabie.

“Torrential rains have affected some of the roads in the Ehlanzeni District. The damage caused on some of these routes has resulted in their total closure. As part of warning motorists, temporary road closure signs were erected,” he said.
While most of the flood-damaged roads have not yet been repaired, the provincial Department of Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs and the Ehlanzeni Disaster Management Centre are still assessing the damage.
