A rising water table is reportedly causing Johannesburg roads and properties to become flooded.
Residents of areas like Roodepoort, Randburg, Soweto, Lenasia Parkwood, Orange Grove, Houghton and Eldorado Park say underground water is seeping through the roads, causing huge sinkholes and flooding properties.
Some residents are installing drainage systems to protect their foundations.
The water is apparently trapped by a rocky layer.
The Johannesburg Roads Agency will only install drainage systems on roads.
