Southern Cape closed after floods

Yesterday, the NSRI used rescue boats to save 20 people from their flooded homes after the Great Brak River, near George, burst its banks.

More than 700 people, mainly from informal settlements, have been displaced. Heavy rains have soaked the Eden, Witsand, Caledon and Heidelberg areas. Parts of the Overberg Region of the Western Cape are flooded. - SABC
