South Africa: Floods to hit Johannesburg

Areas at risk were those around the Klipriver system in Soweto, areas between the West Rand's river system and the northern suburbs, including Dainfern, Diepsloot, Alexandra and Woodmead.

Johannesburg Emergency Services spokesman Percy Morokane encouraged city residents to pay close attention to weather updates.

He said low-lying areas have been a challenge in the past and it was expected that they may experience flooding during this rainy weather.

"We are calling for people who experience problems to call 10177. They must make sure they have a proper evacuation plan should their houses be flooded."
