On Tuesday a police dive team recovered the body of a man from an Audi SUV that was washed away and got stuck near the Centurion Lake Hotel. His body was recovered underneath the hotel.
The body of a man who was in his boat with a friend when it was washed over the Roodeplaat Dam wall on Saturday was found on Tuesday near the SAPS K9 unit and Moloto Road.
On Monday, the body of a man who drowned in his shack at Soul City informal settlement in Mamelodi was found.
On Sunday afternoon police recovered the body of a man inside his bakkie which was washed away in the Centurion area on Saturday night.
