Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Motorists in parts of Gauteng can breathe a sigh of relief because there haven’t been any reports of road damage as a result of heavy rains and flooding in the province on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Gauteng emergency services confirmed this on Friday morning.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, Tshwane emergency services officials and Metro Police responded to two incidents involving vehicles that were submerged under low-lying bridges in Pretoria North and Steve Biko Road. No casualties were reported. Motorists were advised to exercise caution in those areas.<\/p>\n

On Friday, Tshwane emergency services deputy chief Charles Mabaso told News24 that the roads had not been damaged, despite the floods.<\/p>\n

“Roads were in no way damaged. The water on Rachel de Beer Street subsided. [Motorists can drive] as the traffic is moving,” Mabaso said.<\/p>\n

He added that a bridge in Steve Biko Road had no noticeable signs of damage.<\/p>\n

Although no flooding has been reported in Gauteng, the SA Weather Service has predicted a wet weekend.<\/p>\n

Forecaster Jan Vermeulen told News24 that Gauteng would experience showers and thundershowers from Friday into the weekend.<\/p>\n

“For today (Friday), expect isolated showers and thundershowers for Gauteng. Tomorrow will also see isolated showers and thundershowers except for the southwest of the province.<\/p>\n

“On Sunday, there is once again 30% a chance of showers and thundershowers,” Vermeulen said, adding that no alerts were issued for the province.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Mabaso cautioned motorists to be vigilant on the roads over the weekend.<\/p>\n

“[Motorists] must be considerate of other road users and ensure that they do not cross low-lying bridges that may be flooded and, at least, find alternative routes where roads are safe to travel,” Mabaso said.<\/p>\n
