Nine members of a church congregation in South Africa died when a flash flood swept them away during a religious service along a river on Saturday, officials said.
"We have been receiving a lot of rain on the city of Johannesburg in the last three months, and most of the river streams are now full.
Our residents, especially congregants who normally practice these kinds of rituals, will be tempted to go to these river streams," Johannesburg Emergency Services spokesman Robert Mulaudzi said during a press conference on Sunday.
