Overview
- The provincial government remains on high alert after weekend downpours, with some areas topping 100 mm of rain in 48 hours and three disaster teams on standby.
- The Border Management Authority suspended operations at the Pafuri and Giriyondo ports of entry and reported that all personnel and vehicles were evacuated without injuries.
- Kruger rangers and BMA updates show rapid hydrological escalation, including the Luvuvhu River up about half a metre and the Klein Letaba and Middlevlei rivers overflowing as the Letaba bridge nears capacity.
- Heavy rains washed away low-lying bridges and triggered mudslides on the R523 between Khalavha and Sibasa, with additional road damage reported on the R33 in the Waterberg district.
- Travellers bound for the far north are advised to use Punda Maria Gate, and authorities warn that flood risks could persist through March as monitoring continues.
