Torrential rains destroy homes and claim lives in KwaZulu-Natal
At this time, the situation has not gotten out of control, in Limpopo. At least, not as bad as it has been in KwaZulu-Natal. It has been confirmed that at least two people died as a result of the tornado that ripped through New Hanover and Mpolweni, on Tuesday.
While people from the province’s affected areas have been left to pick up what remains of their structures, rescue workers have launched a search operation for a nine-year-old who was swept away by the torrential conditions as he was walking along the low-level bridge, at Nonoti River, in KwaDukuza.
