HEAVY RAINS CAUSE FLOODING AT ORKNEY VAAL
Heavy rains during the last week has caused the Vaal river water level to increase and as a result, the Orkney Vaal and other areas along the Vaal River have flooded. According to the Assistant Director for Fire and Rescue, Mr Mpato, “The water level is still rising faster and areas like Schoonspruit bridge and the number 10 Shaft road is also a great concern. If the water continues to rise, the road between Orkney and Leeudoringstad could be closed.”
The City of Matlosana’s Fire and Rescue team is monitoring the situation and have evacuated 18 families during the weekend. No loss of lives has been reported. The nearby community has been helpful by providing buckets, food, water, toilets and other necessities.
The City of Matlosana will monitor the situation and an update will be issued as soon as there are new developments.
