RESIDENTS WARNED TO BE ON ALERT OF HEAVY
RAIN FALL IN MPUMALANGA
The Department of
Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs (CoGTA) in Mpumalanga would like to warn all residents
of the province to be on alert of heavy rains that predicted for Tuesday, 04
March until Friday, 07 March 2014. These heavy rains expected over the South
and Western Mpumalanga Highveld.
The department has
instructed all 21 municipalities to be on full alert and on standby. The heavy
rains could result in an increase of dam and river levels thus making small
streams and rivers very dangerous. People are advised to move away from river
banks and they must avoid crossing full rivers and over flowing bridges.
The department requests
all communities to take precautions especially those who are staying in low-lying
areas. All road users urged to be extremely cautious on the roads as they will
be wet and rocks might have fallen in some areas.
