The heavy rains caused flooding to homes and roads.

Approximately 400 people have been identified as affected since; 200 of which are children.

“The team is currently conducting a full assessment, which will determine the required intervention. There are four categories of emergency housing interventions provided by the department, namely, restoration, relocation, rebuilding and repairs,” said Simelane in a statement. “Should there be a need for the relocation of the affected households, the municipality will have to identify a piece of land that will be suitable for human settlement.”
