Flood-prone areas in South Africa are primarily found along the eastern and northeastern regions, particularly in provinces like KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga, and the Free State. The Limpopo River Basin is also vulnerable, especially during heavy rainfall, leading to significant flooding events. Urban areas, such as parts of Johannesburg and Cape Town, can experience flash floods due to inadequate drainage systems. Climate change and seasonal rainfall patterns further exacerbate the risk of flooding in these regions.
