Public and motorists urged to be extra cautious following torrential rains across the North West Province

19 February 2025 | From Arrive Alive


The Provincial Joint Operational and Intelligence Structure (PROVJOINTS) made up of various government departments and security forces, led by the South African Police Service (SAPS), would like to warn the public and motorists to be extra cautious following torrential rains across the Province.

The rains that have been experienced in the past few days caused flooding of low-lying bridges, dams and rivers. Furthermore, the following major roads in the Province have been flooded in some areas:

N12 near Stilfontein and Klerksdorp
R503 in Hartbeesfontein
N14 between Sannieshof and Delareyville
R30 between Klerksdorp and Venterdorp
R509 between Koster and Lichtenburg
R52 between Koster and Rustenburg
N18 outside Mahikeng towards Setlagole
Motorists are therefore requested to drive carefully and avoid crossing flooded roads.

Parents and the general public should where possible, avoid swimming or crossing low-lying flooded bridges, rivers and roads as it is dangerous to do so.

The PROVJOINTS has activated District Joint Operational Centres (JOCs). Meanwhile, the public is requested to monitor weather alerts on various communication platforms and to contact local Disaster Management Centres or police stations.
