The City of Tshwane’s Emergency Services Department is calling on communities to remain alert following a Yellow Level 5 warning issued for disruptive rain, from yesterday afternoon.

Localised flooding is also expected in low lying areas.

The disruptive rain is expected to persist until Tuesday.

Tshwane Emergency Services Spokesperson, Lindsay Mnguni says, “The impact of disruptive rain, which may be accompanied by widespread showers and thundershowers will produce heavy rainfall and may include the elevated risk of localised flooding, especially of susceptible low-lying areas, informal settlements and susceptible roads.”

“Disruptions to traffic due to major roads being flooded. Minor to major vehicle accidents due to poor driving visibility and slippery road conditions,” Mnguni adds.
