Disaster Risk teams have been inundated with flood complaints over the past 24 hours.
The heavy rainfall has flooded several roads as well as formal and informal dwellings across the Cape.
Many affected residents spent last night mopping up and clearing the water from their homes.
Heideveld resident, Firdous Schipers, was one of them.
Shamiela Fisher has visited Schipers’ family home and files this report.
