Durban - THE northern parts of KwaZulu-Natal have been hit by heavy rains again, barely two weeks after tropical storm Eloise left a trail of destruction in the region.
Over the weekend, areas in the Jozini and Umhlabuyalingana municipalities received a significant amount of rainfall, leaving some areas with localised flooding.
South African Weather Service forecaster Stacy Colborne said the weather experienced in northern KZN was pretty much what they were expecting when they issued a severe rainfall weather warning last week.
Colborne said between Saturday night and yesterday morning River View and Makhathini had both received 86.2mm of rainfall. Mbazwana received 74.8mm, Richards Bay 62.4mm, Chaka’s Creek 51mm and Pongola 25.8mm.
RESIDENTS FLEE FOR SAFETY AMID HEAVY RAINFALL Zimbili Vilakazi Photo: Alpha Alarms.
DOZENS of families in eMkhonjeni in Jozini, northern KZN, had to be evacuated after their houses were flooded by heavy rain.
Sandile Gumede (35), from one of the affected families along the river bank, told
Daily Sun: “There’s a small bridge that diverts rain water away from our homes. But when there’s heavy rain it overflows and water floods our houses.”
She said her two-roomed house, which she shares with her two kids and three nephews, was flooded.
“When I realised water was getting into the house in full force, I called a neighbour from up the hill to come help me take the smaller kids to her home, which is safer.”
