Search and Rescue teams attached to the K9 unit in Gqeberha are currently at the notorious 3rd Avenue Dip in Newton Park, where a motorcyclist reportedly got swept away.

The dip has been closed by the Metro since heavy rains lashed the city since Monday.

The Traffic Chief Warren Prins says they were responding to an eyewitness report of someone disregarding the closures.

He says the stream is very strong, and they suspect that a person on a motorcycle was swept downstream.

Prins urged motorists not to ignore road closures.

This is a developing story.
