DURBAN - KWAZULU-NATAL disaster management teams were awaiting reports of any damage caused during a storm over the weekend.
The South African Weather Service (Saws) regional forecast issued a yellow level 2 warning for severe thunderstorms on Sunday night. The thunderstorms, Saws warned, were accompanied by heavy downpours, which may have led to localised flooding of low-lying bridges and roads.
Saws warned of excessive lightning with the most affected areas being Mhlathuze, uMfolozi, Mtubatuba and the big five Hlabisa municipalities of KwaZulu-Natal.
Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs (Cogta) MEC Sipho Hlomuka placed disaster management teams on alert following the weather warning. “The warning received by the department indicates that widespread showers and thunderstorms are expected over most parts of KZN, but scattered over the extreme north-eastern parts,” he said.
