Flooded Road Leaves Minibus Stranded Near Burgersdorp Bridge

Residents in Burgersdorp are being warned to avoid a flooded road linking Mzamomhle Location to Thembisa Location after a minibus became stuck in rising water.

The flooding is believed to have been caused by a dam overflow, which sent water across the roadway and completely blocked access to the bridge. Water levels remain high, making the route unsafe for any vehicles.

Road blocked by rising water

The affected road is currently inaccessible, with the bridge cut off due to flooding. Motorists travelling between the two areas are being urged to use alternative routes until conditions improve.

The minibus involved in the incident was found with no passengers inside. No injuries have been reported.

Intervention underway

Authorities have been notified of the situation, and efforts are being arranged to address the flooding and restore safe access. However, no timeframe has been confirmed for when the road will reopen.

Caution urged

Drivers are advised not to attempt to cross flooded roads, as water can conceal hazards and conditions can change rapidly.

Residents are urged to remain cautious and patient while the situation is being attended to.
