“Amathole District Municipality has been hit by disaster in its Alice Town,” Amathole District Municipality spokesperson Nonceba Madikizela-Vuso said in a statement.
She said no injuries had thus far been reported.
The overflow brought the town to a standstill as vehicles could barely manoeuvre from one place to the another.
Some homes have also been damaged.
Madikizela-Vuso said they dispatched its disaster team to assess the extent of damage.
“We will have a better indication of what is happening on the ground by tomorrow [Monday].”
In a video posted on social media, taxis can be seen submerged in the water unable to move.
