Heavy rainfall led to flooding across many parts of Cape Town on Wednesday evening, with authorities attending to several affected areas on Thursday morning. The City of Cape Town's disaster risk management spokesperson Charlotte Powell said teams were working hard to implement flood alleviation measures, especially where stormwater systems were blocked.
Numerous uprooted trees have been reported and scores of roadways have been flooded while residents in a long list of informal settlements across the city are also suffering after their homes were left waterlogged.
When a provincial government says it is there for its people, and puts its money where its mouth is, it is not only encouraging but also extremely heart warming.
