The flooding started on Saturday afternoon and has seen the water knee-deep in some places.
Heavy rains in Ekurhuleni over the long weekend flooded streets and homes leaving residents of the Mpilisweni informal settlement in Thokoza wet and without electricity on Easter Monday.
“I lost everything in my shack, even my beds and my couches are wet. I had to ask my family for help,” the 31-year-old mother said to African News Agency while trying to push the water away from her door outside her shack. Xalaza said with the heavy rains residents have been faced with other problems including having to throw away food because they have been without electricity since Friday morning.
