flag South Africa’s Senteeko Dam faces imminent collapse due to storm damage, triggering evacuations.

flag Senteeko Dam in Mpumalanga, South Africa, is at imminent risk of failure due to severe spillway damage from heavy rains, prompting emergency evacuations downstream. flag The 26-meter-high dam, used for irrigation and owned by the Shamile Communal Property Association, shows irreversible erosion and structural instability, with no warning expected before a potential collapse. flag Authorities have widened an emergency spillway to lower water levels and are monitoring the situation closely, but the threat remains critical. flag The dam is not expected to impact neighboring countries Mozambique or Eswatini, as the nearest border is over 160 kilometers away.
