R31 route between Barkly West and Kimberley remains closed

The R-31 road between Barkly-West and Kimberley in the Northern Cape remains closed. This after water levels at the man-made sewage dam increased due to floods to such an extent that about a 400 metre section of the road was flooded. The dam has been there for more than 5 years.
Officials have promised that the issues will be attended to.
