Some Cape Town communities flooded

CAPE TOWN - City Disaster Management will be hard at work following Friday nights' heavy rain.

Residents of low-lying areas have called for help in the wake of the downpour.

Numerous roads flooded in Strand and Somerset West, but the city's engineers have cleared them.

Disaster Management spokesperson Wilfred Solomon-Johannes says, “Calls from informal settlements in the Cape Flats. Our disaster teams are out to inspect the affected areas.”

The rain is expected to continue throughout the weekend.

Gauteng and Eastern Cape residents have also been warned of possible heavy rains.
