N12 Road not closed due to 'flash flood' in Meiringspoort

OUDTSHOORN NEWS - Contrary to reports, Meiringspoort was not closed to traffic on Thursday during a 'flash flood'.

However, traffic was indeed brought to a halt for 20 minutes after the Groot Rivier flooded and submerged a low water bridge on the Klaarstroom (northern) side at 16:00 after a cloudburst.

Morne Thysse, who was there to photograph the incident, said the waterlevel was 30cm above the bridge
