110 service teams working 'around the clock' to ease flooding in Cape Town
Cape Town Mayor Gordan Hill-Lewis has appointed 110 service
teams to assist with the easing of floods in the city.
This after the city's disaster management said overnight flooding had been reported in many areas.
The South African Weather Service had issued a warning for localised flooding amid an intense cold front that hit the city on Monday.
Affected areas included Khayelitsha, Ottery, Langa, Strand, Philippi, Gugulethu, Delft, and Vryground.
Hill-Lewis says every single worker is out in the city to assist in flooded homes before working on flooded roads.

"The teams are stretched extremely thin but every single one of them, down to the last man or woman are out in the city working and will remain working around the clock to help residents as they need them."
Residents are urged to contact the city should there be any life-threatening situations, says Hill- Lewis
The main priority is on flooded homes first, then flooded roads.
