Bloemhof Floods | Communities call for assistance
Communities and families in the flood stricken areas of Bloemhof and Christiana in the North West are pleading with both the government and the private sector to come to their rescue. This after over 100 households were severely affected by the flooding of the Vaal River. Many families have been displaced and properties damaged. The Department of Water and Sanitation has said it will gradually close more sluice gates at the Vaal Dam. Two sluice gates were closed on Wednesday, after ten were opened earlier to maintain the water level, which was standing at over 100% capacity.
