DurbanFloods: At least six dead as heavy rains batter Durban
Durban - At least six people have died, hundreds of homes damages and several roads leading into the city were flooded after heavy rain battered Durban overnight.
Rescue workers have their hands full out on the field with some describing it as an absolute disaster with many terrible tragedies; houses and walls collapsed. Subramodey said neighbours and relatives came to assist and gave them an indication of how many people could be in the house. He said, "This pressure is being exaggerated by people insisting on driving and getting themselves into unsafe situations."
On St Helier Road in Hillcrest, a woman escaped unharmed when mud began flowing down an embankment and covered her car. The mud was waist deep.
