A search is under way in Pretoria to find a man swept away by the Apies River on Thursday. This is the second incident in the vicinity of the Pretoria Zoo in less than a week.
Mabaso said the search for the man was called off on Thursday evening due to poor visibility and high, fast-flowing waters.
He said the search is continuing on Friday under the command of the SA Police Service K9 and Diving Unit. “The Hennops River in Centurion burst its banks, leading to flooding and the closure of multiple roads. Two cars were stuck on Blackwood and Lyttelton roads. The occupants were evacuated safely. Water levels in Blackwood Road were dropping but are still high.”
Mabaso has called on motorists to not cross flooded low-water bridges. Most roads in Centurion remain flooded. “We make a repeated call to those who find shelter under bridges near rivers to evacuate when it rains. Dial 107 toll-free to report a fire or life-threatening emergency.”
