With heavy rainfall across the interior and northern parts of the country, flooding has been reported in some regions and many dams and reservoirs are filling up.
Some parts of the country have had as much as 100mm of rain overnight, reports Gauteng Weather.

Many dams have exceeded their capacity, resulting in sluice gates being opened in an attempt to prevent flooding.
