Don't ever remember this happening down at the mouth, we already had our flood, but in todays Republikein newspaper, another flood warning has just been issued!

Yesterday the main bridge over the Vaal inbetween Kimberley and Barkley West was closed due to the river running over the bridge and reports that some of the bridge had washed away. My afrikaans translation could leave alot to be desired but looks like all that water is heading your way again. Keep filling those sand bags
.. and the Hardap sluices were opened..... Surfs Up!

The flood is definitely coming your way Mike. I think you guys will need to build a ark as it is pouring with rain here in Gauteng. I don't know how I am going to get over our low water bridge this afternoon, I will have to go the long way around to get home. notfair
I see a flood warning has been issued for Pretoria...
I will believe that Mike as it is pouring here with rain in Midrand and I live in Centurion.
Can someone please post some more photo's of the river and the surroundings. The ex-Oranjemunders wants to be included in the happenings. Feels like the old times when the river is in flood everyone went down to the river and mouth to take some photos.
Love to be there and experience it all over again.
