Municipal officials along with a group of Nelson Mandela Bay journalists got stuck in the mud on a gravel road while on their way to the Impofu Dam outside Humansdorp.
As dam levels rise in the drought-stricken Eastern Cape, the South African Weather Office has issued a second warning for disruptive rain this week for the Nelson Mandela Bay Metro and Kouga Local Municipality. Meanwhile, residents of Buffalo City, Port St Johns and some inland areas are still.
A new dam will be built on the Gariep-Nooitgedacht supply line by the department of water and sanitation in September to improve Nelson Mandela Bay’s water security, according to Eastern Cape premier Oscar Mabuyane.
