Several major roads in Joburg flooded due to heavy rains: The Johannesburg metro police department has reported numerous flooding incidents on major roads across Joburg, Roodepoort and Soweto.
Parts of Soweto — including Klipspruit Valley Road, Mncube Drive and Moroka Nancefield Road — were also affected.
Metrorail has suspended trains in Soweto due to overhead wires being struck by lightning and flooding along the Naledi to Dube line. The Naledi to Johannesburg line, using the new electric trains which returned to service more than a week ago, will not operate on Friday, Metrorail announced. Metrorail spokesperson Lillian Mofokeng said commuters are advised to seek alternative transport until further notice.
