The Johannesburg emergency authorities have stated that two people have been killed by the recent heavy rains and at least 1000 displaced.

Cleaning personnel have already started the cleaning operations in numerous places.

Alexandra, the Buccleuch Interchange, the corner of Rivonia and Witkoppen roads in Sunninghill, some parts of the R59 on the Vereeniging road and some parts of the West Rand near Florida lake are being watched closely by emergency personnel as these areas have been declared danger areas.

Motorists have been warned to drive with caution when travelling in these danger areas.

Many of the people that have been left homeless by the heavy rains have found shelter in community halls.
