050505, The fall and rise of the Umtata river bridge


Last week Sunday:

These pics were taken last week Sunday, a week after the flood destroyed part of the bridge.  It is said that the water flooded 3m over the bridge and the debris was still there to prove it.

Here is the bridge from the side that got disconnected to the road

People had to pay R5 for the privilege to use this ladder so that they could get up or down from the bridge to reach the other side.

The debris that got stuck on the bridge



From a distance you can see the debris and on the left where the bridge collapsed


This week Sunday:


This was today, the bridge has been fixed in a week! 

Now we can get to Umdumbi again yay!!
