Klerksdorp Rekord, Orkney - ‘n Paar weke uitmekaar het nog ‘n vloed inwoners langs die Vaalrivier en Schoonspruit raadop.
Derduisende rande se skade is aangerig toe die Vaaldam inderhaas nog sluise oopgemaak het na nog deurdringende reën verlede week die dam weer ver bo kapasiteit gedruk het.
Dit het veroorsaak dat die meeste eiendomme langs die rivier wat net-net die vloed vroeër in April vrygespring het, nou ook onderwater is. Ook eiendom langs die Schoonspruit in Cuckoostraat het weer ontruim.
