It doesn't rain but pours for the Jagersfontein community as another dam has collapsed. However, unlike the previous mudslide that was released by the tailings dam the other dam released water. In a statement the Free State Premier Sefora Ntombela assured the residents that they were not in danger. According to a statement, It is understood that the water is running through the neighbourhood of Charlesville and the nearby Dennis Louw Farm.

PANIC TO THE COMMUNITY 

?
Ntombela said the community need not  panic but emergency services and the disaster management team has been deployed to the area for their ease.
Mayor of the Kopanong municipality, Xolani Tseletsele said the incident happened at around 9pm last night.
Tseletsele said, "What the mine officials have told me is that due to the rains we suffered in the last two days, the dam burst but it was only water. I am from site now and had a physical look at it. There is no more water flow to the community but what the incident has done is that it has brought back the panic to the community," said Tseletsele.

ROADS CLOSED

He said the water did not damage any property nor claim a life. The last incident in Jagersfontein made headlines following a dam burst that displaced more than a hundred residents from their homes. Two people are still missing and their search continues. Cars, livestock and crops were hugely affected by this. Some of the homes were permanently damaged and the premier has since promised to rebuild 160 of them. Motorists have been advised to use an alternative gravel road to Fauresmith to access Jagersfontein due to the closure of the R706
