Warning: Road flooded
In rainy weather it is crucial to reduce speed and keep a safe following distance.
- The R549 towards R54, Van Niekerksrus is flooded. Please avoid this route.
- Although a lot of potholes were fixed on the R59 the past week, the team can not continue with the current rainy weather conditions. Reduce speed and adhere to safe following distances.
The public is further advised to:
• Stay away from flooded roads and areas, even if the water appears shallow.
• Avoid swimming, fishing or recreational activities in rivers and dams until water levels stabilise.
• Take note of warnings issued by authorities and immediately report anyone in distress to the nearest police station or emergency services.
• Keep a list of emergency contact numbers for your area, including your nearest police station, emergency medical services and local disaster management centre.
