Roads flooded, buildings washed away in latest Durban downpour (Mail and Guardian)

No deaths have been reported after mudslides caused by heavy weekend rains.

Hlomuka said a number of people had been evacuated in the Ilembe district, north of Durban, where roads and bridges had also been damaged in flooding, while homes had been damaged in the King Cetshwayo District. Low lying areas in the south of the city – including Isipingo – were flooded overnight, while roads were washed away in parts of Pinetown, to the west of the city, which had also been hammered badly in last month’s downpours. Hlomuka said that while all the coastal municipalities had been placed on alert due to the level 10 warning issued by the SAWS, the areas hit worst were eThekwini and the north east of the province.
