Tshwane EMS spokesperson Charles Mabaso said they are continuing to plead with motorists not to attempt to cross low-lying bridges and roads. 

“We call on the residents where barriers have been placed not to open the barriers and cross the roads.”

This comes after a woman was rescued earlier on Tuesday morning.

Meanwhile, another person was trapped in a flooded shack in Soshanguve near Soutpan Road.

Mabaso says emergency services have been dispatched to Soshanguve to conduct an assessment.

Meanwhile, the Tshwane Metro Police Department (TMPD) urged motorists to avoid End and Rabie Street in Centurion. 

“In Soshanguve, roads are closed near Soutpan Road.” 

Keep these tips in mind when driving in these weather conditions. 

All road users are requested to take extra caution:

• Reduce speed
• Switch on your headlights
• Pedestrians should be careful when crossing the road
• Avoid crossing rivers and streams where water is above your ankles

Households were urged to open/make pathways to allow water to flow from their yards.

Here is a checklist for residents to prepare for the extreme rainfall: 

• Make sure that drainage pipes on your property are not blocked
• Make sure that the stormwater gutters around your property are free from debris
• Check for dead or burnt trees that have the potential of falling onto your property and causing damage
• Place sandbags where necessary to protect critical areas
• Check the terms of your insurance policy with regard to flood and mud damage
• In informal settlements, raise the floor level of your home to be higher than the land outside
• Listen to weather warnings that are issued by the South African Weather Service
