PICS: Toti businessman loses 'landmark' luxury home in DurbanFlood DailyNewsSA
AN eManzimtoti businessman lost his luxury home as well as vehicles during Monday’s devastating rains; and his business at another site was also damaged. Picture: Willie BeetgeAN eManzimtoti businessman lost his luxury home as well as vehicles during Monday’s devastating rains; and his business at another site was also damaged.
The unnamed owner of the house declined to speak to the media as he was busy trying to deal with the dramatic turn of events at his home and business over his phone.The owner stayed with a friend on Monday night. A man living at a neighbouring property sustained head injuries during the storm. Paramedics treated him at the scene and he was taken to Prince Mshiyeni Hospital for further treatment.
However, when it rained, there still seemed to be a problem with drainage, and the local municipal offices responsible for stormwater issues told Beetge it was not a maintenance issue. There appeared to be a problem with the stormwater line, and the coastal engineer’s office had promised to send down a camera to investigate.
Rockview Road - an arterial road between eManzimtoti and Warner Beach and an alternative route to local schools - was also flooded.
