Heavy Rainfall, Flooding in Eastern Cape

Eastern Cape Sarah Baartman District, 6 May: The SAPS urges motorists and pedestrians to avoid crossing flooded roads, streams, and low-water bridges.

Bridges on the R332 between Patensie and Kwagga and the Baviaanskloof area are flooded and covered with debris. The low-water bridges of Baviaans, Kouga, Andrieskraal, Kok Se Plaas, and Vensterhoek are all flooded.

In the Thronhill/Hankey area, fallen trees are blocking the R62, R331 in Loerie, R102 between the Gamtoos River and Thornhill, and the Loerie Road between Hankey and Thornhill.

Apiesdraai, between Aston Bay and Jeffreys Bay, on Dolphin Drive, is closed due to flooding.

The Seekoei Estuary Causeway remains accessible to traffic at this stage

Residents and motorists are asked to be wary of fallen trees and debris when driving between Thornhill and Hankey. Reduce speed and be alert for debris, especially at night when hazards are harder to see.
