BLOEMHOF – The Lekwa-Teemane Local Municipality in Bloemhof is calling on South Africans to help families and communities affected by the Vaal Dam floods.
For weeks now, scores of households have been displaced and properties damaged along the Vaal River.
Ten of the dam’s sluice gates have been opened to maintain water levels, currently at 119 percent capacity.
Those affected by the floods are still awaiting answers from authorities as to why they didn’t react sooner.
