SA Annoyed by Low Lying Bridge Warning Issued by City of Tshwane: “Why Don’t You Fix It?”

• A video of heavy flooding in Centurion was shared on Twitter by the City of Tshwane with a warning for residents
• The City wants locals to avoid areas that have low-lying bridges but peeps are far from impressed by this
• Mzansians want Government to make a difference by putting in the work instead of issuing warnings

The City of Tshwane shared a video on Twitter warning motorists and pedestrians of major flooding at End Street in Centurion. The City shared a 16-second clip of a heavily flooded road and asked locals to avoid low-lying bridges.

The clip resulted in some harsh responses from South Africans who want to know why the City has not done anything to prepare flooding. Saffas seem to share the same sentiment as they are annoyed that they are being warned to watch out for themselves instead of Government putting in the work to avoid such issues.

Heavy flooding in Germiston can't stop peeps from ordering fast food: "Talk about die-hards"

In other news about heavy rain, Briefly News previously reported that anti-crime activist Yusuf Abramjee kept South Africans informed on the happenings in Germiston with a video of the major flooding.

Abramjee shared a 25-second clip of Germiston Golden Walk Mall, which experienced shin-level flooding. The video pans around the mall and onto a section where customers can be seen sitting on chairs and tables to avoid the flow.

Although the majority of responses to the post were of concern and worry, a number of South Africans made light of the situation as people in the video can be seen trying to order food.
