The Mangaung Metro has warned residents to be cautious on the roads following a severe weather warning by the South African Weather Services.
Residents can expect localised flash flooding from Wednesday until Friday.
Severe weather conditions are also likely to cause network and power cuts.
“We have the Eloise sitting over south-western Botswana and over Gordonia area. So, by tomorrow the system that is approaching from the west and upper trough will connect with the system that is over Botswana and Gordonia. So, it drifts the moisture southwards to the central provinces of the country. So, those conditions meaning the heavy rains, as well as possibility of flooding could also be expected on Friday,” says Puseletso Mofokeng
