CAPETOWN NEEDS THE RAIN,,jah rastafari

@kevindc4961

How about the Coloured people , stop throwing their rubbish into street gutters, drains and putting grease down the kitchen sinks.
Every time we have heavy rain, the informal settlements and coloured communities flood and they
expect the City to suddently rush out and unclock the blocked drains….

@davidverster9523

Informal settlements??third world cesspools

Be careful Vanessa. Not too close to the road. I drove through that area before my retirement. Keep safe please.

@ThatoRyanKhwinana

Aowa please give the correspondence report some 🧤

@MóTee1

Do South African reporters know what a FLOOD is? Like I was expecting to see people walking in water, swimming to safety like cars unable to move on the road because of the FLOOD.

This is a cold front yes, it is raining yes but let's not exaggerate and call it a "flood".

There are people who are actually experiencing real floods around the world. 🤦🏽‍♀️

@justinvanwyk7623

This is why DA will remain at 21%. You won’t see this happening in the upper class areas, just Cape Flats

@BronwynMiller-t7k

I bet if it rained like this a week before elections the report would have said there was a flood
I ddnt vote

@babytjoktits

How many trucks and workers do they need to open a drain?I am sure the extra trucks and hands could've been put to better uses elsewhere?

@niceguy3041

Shouldn't the cleanup be done in advance

@kelvinwestraat5140

Donations.. as if the country does not have the necessary funds to help these people.

@davidgoes785

Cape weather… What can we say… It happens every year… Be prepared people!

@user-oo8ei4lj6s

THERE are more than 20 000 churches hoarding their buildings.

@KatarinaRust

@fredlenz4743

And the millions wasted taking Israel to the ICJ when that money would have been better spent on South Africans.
