According to Rosebank Killarney Gazette, there are massive delays on Jan Smuts Avenue, and the flash flood washed away a boundary wall at Johannesburg Zoo. “Some of the herbivore antelope are visible from the road,” they said.
Witnesses said the flash flood had closed down the R24 West from OR Tambo heading into Joburg, submerging cars and trucks under water. “It’s havoc, chaos out there with traffic at a standstill,” said Raymond Joseph.
Several photos uploaded to social media show motorists sitting on top of their cars, or walking away from their submerged cars. Sadly one photo (not shown on this page) showed one flood victim trying to resuscitate another.
The good news, according to Gauteng Weather, is that Wednesday’s rain was moving over the Vaal catchment area. On Monday authorities began moving water from Sterkfontein Dam to Vaal Dam which was dangerously close to running dry.
SAPeople follower Stanza Junior said: “We at the Vaal Triangle are very Happy. Thank you Father.”
Gauteng Weather has issued these flooding tips for people in the area:
20cm of water can sweep a person away
Half a metre of water can float a car
Never drive around barricades
UPDATE: According to local reports, there has been at least one fatality and over 100 cars washed off the N3 in what is turning out to have been one of the worst flash flood disasters in Joburg.
