# Water and Sanitation minister Pemmy Majodina has cautioned residents living within the flood line along the Vaal River System, downstream of the Vaal Dam and Bloemhof Dam, that low-lying areas remain vulnerable. This is due to the open sluice gates at both dams, which are being used to manage water levels. Majodina urged residents to evacuate the areas that are prone to flooding during heavy rains:
