Despite heavy rain, there has been no more flooding in Soweto, Johannesburg Emergency Management Services said on Sunday.
However, floods were reported in Alexandra, where the Jukskei River burst its banks on Saturday night, submerging four shacks, said spokesperson Percy Morokane.
Bridges in the area had also been rendered impassable, as had some low-lying bridges in Buccleuch and Morningside, he said.
Although the situation had returned to normal by Sunday, Morokane warned of rubble on the roads.
With more rain expected in the next two days, he advised motorists to avoid the bridges at London, Alfred Nzo, Vincent Tshabalala and Roosevelt roads in Alexandra and on Bridge Road, Buccleuch.
In Soweto, parts of which were declared disaster areas after the floods, more than 200 people were still receiving two hot meals a day from Pick n Pay.
Most of the residents had lost everything they owned, including furniture and clothing.
They were being assisted by, among others, the al-Imdaad Foundation, the Red Cross, and the Gift of the Givers.
Fast food outlets in Jabulani, Soweto, were feeding the disaster management and emergency services teams operating in the areas.
Morokane said police divers, supported by emergency services, were still searching a two or three kilometre stretch of the Klipspruit River for any sign of the 20-day-old baby and the taxi driver, Olando Chauke (29) who went missing in Thursday’s flash floods in Soweto.
The missing baby had been on board a bus trapped on Ncube Drive. Chauke was in his taxi when it was swept off a bridge in Dube.
A third missing person, a 13-year-old girl, was found dead next to a park in Meadowlands on Thursday night after the floods.
Another two girls, aged six and 15, died in the floods, and 40 people were injured.
Morokane said emergency services had set up a hotline for complaints, queries and general information about the floods on 011-375-5920. It would be operational for the next 24-hours. – Sapa
