LOOK: Port St Johns in Eastern Cape battered by extreme floods (The South African)

It is reported that the rain that started pouring heavily today in Port St Johns has wreaked havoc and endangered lives in parts of the town.

The river itself is not flooding and it is run off by the rain that they have had for the past 24 hours, and everything is under control in the town except for the fact people cannot leave by road. The situation is under control and the water is receding already. The water is all flowing in the wrong direction towards the back of the town which is very strange,” the post read. The problem is the road between the bridge of the Umzimvubu area and the town is completely closed off by a rock fall. This is localized rain, this water is not coming from a flooded Umzimvumbu River, it is all coming off the mountain and hills on the town side of the river. It is reported that the rain that started pouring heavily today in Port St Johns has wreaked havoc and endangered lives in parts of the town.
