Western Cape Floods: Authorities warn residents after two people die trying to cross flooded river

Teams from the Western Cape Department of Infrastructure have been able to gain access to areas cut-off from communities following severe storms that hit the Garden Route and Littel Karoo.

About twenty-five communities across the region were cut- off following this week's severe storms.

As the weather has improved significantly, residents have been cautioned against trying to cross rivers and low-lying bridges, after two people died in weather-related incidents over the past few days.
