Flood-hit Citrusdal to run out of fuel by Tuesday, warns GOTG
The Gift of the Givers says the Western Cape's flood-hit town of Citrusdal is expected to run out of fuel by Tuesday.
That area and Vredenda .have been cut off from the rest of the country after torrential rains on Wednesday caused flooding.
Ali Sablay, who is with the Pietermaritzburg-based group, says their teams are heading there to deliver urgent humanitarian aid.
He says the province is bracing for another severe cold front and heavy downpours.

He says there's a water crisis looming in Citrusdal.
"They have only one borehole functioning at the moment; all the other boreholes washed away. The one borehole serving the town, but with the heavy rains predicted tonight. They are worried that that bore is going to be flooded."
More than a thousand people in Rawsonville were displaced after heavy rains washed away over 300 homes at an informal settlement.
