OVER 1000 shacks along Tsamaya road in Mamelodi have been destroyed by floods.
Some of the shacks are covered in water to the roof, the Tshwane Emergency Services are on the scene trying to rescue shack dwellers that climbed on top of their homes.
According to Yusuf Abramjee, scores of people are trapped at Eerstefabrieke Squatter Camp.
Resident Davis Monyai says they should have never settled there in the first place because they knew that the place was not good. #Mamelodi pic.twitter.com/jhEd8zxfwz
