Tesselaarsdal Flood

This is my next door neighbour but one, in Tesselaarsdal: Wilkie (WPC) Stewart -- his name is used here with permission. He is standing on his plot Erf 201, in front of a house that he was building. It's a tranquil scene in a way, but it reveals an incredible flood. He said it was the way that the main road had been built over the river -- which acted as a "dam wall". This was plain to see, although no one may know whether his house could have been saved without it. They were repairing the road as we spoke -- a massive undertaking -- although it surely needs a redesign.
