Business activities came to a halt at the South Industrial Area in Accra on Wednesday, as the premises of a number of companies were filled with floodwaters, following a morning downpour.
The worst hit companies include Mitsui Electronics, Azar Paints, Toyota Ghana Limited, Francis Darkwa & Company Ltd., Namco, Beeyeman Ltd., Letap Packaging and Wire Weaving Ghana Ltd.
Workers of the affected companies were struggling to get out of the premises as the floodwaters reached waist level when the Graphic visited the areas at about 12 noon.
Some company vehicles and others belonging to staff were submerged.
The predicament of the companies was compounded when power supply was cut by the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) following the heavy rainfall.
Customers who had called at the flooded companies to do business, obviously not anticipating such a situation, had to abandon their business plans.
