The Umhlatuzana Hindu Temple, south of Durban, damaged after the township was hit by heavy rain and flash floods following a torrential downpour on April 23, 2019. RAJESH JANTILAL / AFPDevastating floods in South Africa have left 51 dead and forced more than a thousand people from their homes, according to an updated toll issued Wednesday as President Cyril Ramaphosa flew to the deluged region.
Speaking to the affected Amanzimtoti community in Durban, after returning from emergency African Union talks in Egypt on the crises in Libya and Sudan, Ramaphosa said: “there are more than 1,000 people who are now displaced.” The government will set aside emergency funding to help survivors rebuild their lives, Ramaphosa vowed.
Rescuers on Wednesday continued to comb debris, desperately looking for people feared trapped by landslides.
