Angry residents barricaded the road leading into Delpoortshoop near Barkley West in the Northern Cape after complaining about poor development in the area.

An angry mob says their area has been neglected by the Dikgatlong local municipality who they accuse of giving preference to Barkley West.

Meanwhile flooding in Gauteng today forced around 300 families in Palm Ridge on the East Rand to relocate to tents.

Emergency workers say hundreds of people have been displaced by days of torrential rain. Another group of people has been displaced in Atlasville.

Ekurhuleni Municipality is handing out blankets and food parcels.

Wet roads contributed to a number of accidents in Johannesburg this morning.
