Heavy rains cause mudslide in Centurion
The heavy rains of the past two days have caused a mudslide in Centurion, resulting in a part of the busy N14/R55 west being partially closed.
Centurion residents driving on the N14/R55 direction of Krugersdorp are advised to use alternative routes after the mudslide barricaded a part of the road on Saturday morning, Centurion Rekord reported.
Ruan Heyns from Orange Fox Medical Security, who was on the scene. said he had called in the assistance of the Tshwane metro police to close the road and the Tshwane Emergency Services to assess the damage.
He said from his viewpoint, it seemed as if there was still a part the hill that was threatening to collapse.
“The bridge looks fairly stable, but the metro police and emergency services will assess the situation further,” Heyns said.
He said he suspected the mudslide was a result of the heavy rainfall in Pretoria in the last two days.
