Try and avoid crossing rivers and streams and also monitor kids to stay away from rivers and streams”.“Most importantly, our motorists while driving must exercise caution, maintain a safe following distance, try and avoid crossing flooded roads and flooded bridges so that we can prevent incidents where vehicles might be swept away”.
“We are increasing resources to most of the Service Delivery Centers in order to respond to those calls,” Mangena said. “Our response times to outage calls currently flooding our system will also be delayed as we are forced to navigate through the flooded streets, damaged roads and trees blown into the roads,” he added.
