A blocked drainage system has led to flooding at the emergency section of the Helen Joseph Hospital.
Acting CEO of the Helen Joseph Hospital Ronnie Masilela, says, “There was about four to five inches of water flooding the entire area, moving down the corridor. The flood blocked our drain – the drain that is outside our casualty. And the water, instead of going into the drain, started flowing into sections of the hospital. Fortunately, patients were not affected. There were no injuries sustained during this process and there was no loss of life.
Spokesperson for the Tshwane Emergecency Services, Charles Mabaso, says the storm water drains are being unblocked where they received calls of flooding and their disaster management team is on the ground to provide relief where necessary.“We are on high alert and on standby for any additional incidents that may be reported. With the rain continuing, we understand that now the ground is very saturated and as such, any continued rain will increase chances of flooding.
Not only Gauteng has been affected by floods that followed heavy rainfalls. In Phuthaditjhaba and QwaQwa in the Free State, houses are flooded and some bridges are inaccessible.
