    So good to see Cape Town councils managing the flooding and deluge so well.
    The sand bags certainly help direct the flow.
    I reckon we're the only province where these services work for the people.

      Definately. Gauteng the floods will take the road away and the road will stay like that for years.

      @@TheNikinutso negative. And I wonder if the council is helping and supporting the people of Kayalitsha as well as the rich and famous? A report on that would be a good thing.
