Pedestrians and motorists across the City of Ekurhuleni have been urged to be cautious when approaching low-lying bridges and flooded streams.
The warning comes amid the city experiencing rainfall with possibilities of flooding at low-lying bridges.
Spokesperson for the Ekurhuleni’s Emergency Management Services, William Ntladi, says they remain on high alert during the adverse weather conditions with severe thunderstorms accompanied by heavy downpours.
“Currently, the city is experiencing copious amounts of rain with possibilities of flooding low-lying bridges. Pedestrians and motorists are urged to be extremely cautious when approaching low-lying bridges and flooded streams, and as well to be extremely cautious when using heaters to keep warm, because temperatures are as well anticipated to be at their single digits towards mid-teens at maximum. Those performing rituals at the water streams are advised to be extremely cautious as well because of strong water current. Drowning is eminent.”
