Evacuations and road closures due to flooding in Port Elizabeth, South Africa

The heavy downpour in Nelson Mandela Bay has caused flooding in parts of the city, forcing the municipality to relocate some residents and close roads as a precautionary measure. Though some residents affected by the floods are refusing to be moved to safer areas, the city said it remained on high alert. Safety and security political head councillor Lawrence Troon said the municipality would continue to monitor the situation.
