At least 45 people have died after intensely heavy rainfall in eastern South Africa. The death toll could rise further and heavy rains will continue until evening
At least 45 people were killed after Monday’s intensely heavy rainfall in South Africa’s eastern coastal province of KwaZulu-Natal flooded settlements, ravaged homes, swept away roads and displaced dozens, officials said on Tuesday.
Dozens of homes were washed away and several roads had caved in, hampering transportation and rescue operations. People were seen carrying some salvaged possessions to safer places as muddy waters gushed across streets. South Africa’s biggest logistics and freight operator Transnet, which runs the Durban port, suspended operations across its terminals there as the deluge damaged a road and hindered access to the terminals, it said in a statement.
