On Facebook Live, she recorded the torrential weather that is currently bashing Wentworth and Tara roads, which are known for flooding when heavy rains occur, Southlands Sun reports.
“It’s very bad. Trees are falling, Tara Road is flooded. We can’t leave our workplace, so we are trapped here. My children are at school now, and I can’t get a hold of the school to check on them.
“I advise everyone to stay indoors. I’m afraid of what my home in Montclair will look like after this storm has passed,” Hlengiwe said.
