Ukuqhuma kwepayipi kumgca wamanzi wasePort Nolloth kukhokelele ekuphazamisekeni kwamanzi kwiindawo ezithile kuMasipala waseRichtersveld.
Umonakalo uxelwe kumgca malunga neekhilomitha ezingama-22 ukusuka eAlexander Bay.
Umasipala uthi ipompo icinyiwe okwethutyana ukuvumela amaqela okulungisa ukuba anyamekele ngokukhuselekileyo umbhobho owonakeleyo.
Iqela lobuchwephesha likamasipala lithunyelwe kwindawo kwaye umsebenzi wokulungisa kulindeleke ukuba uqale ngoko nangoko.
Abemi bayacetyiswa ukuba uhlaziyo olongezelelweyo luya kwaziswa njengoko umsebenzi uqhubeka wokubuyisela ukunikezelwa kwamanzi.
