In this emotional feature, TimesLIVE brings you exclusive footage, images and interviews with those who have lost everything and the people who work tirelessly to recovery the bodies of those killed in recent deadly floods in KwaZulu-Natal.
At least 435 people have been killed and 55 people remain unaccounted for after devastating floods swept through KwaZulu-Natal on April 11 2022.
More than 400 people lost their lives and dozens remain unaccounted for after days of torrential rains saw mudslides and floods wash away roads and bridges and entire homes and buildings collapsed, the earth swallowing people whole, burying them deep beneath, where many remain. The sight of 11-month-old Ayabonga Makholwa’s tiny coffin being lowered into the earth hit home for many of her relatives when she was laid to rest alongside her siblings, Axolile Makholwa, 16, Kwanele Kheswa, 16, Alakhe Makholwa, 14, and sister Iminam Makholwa, 8, at the Mophela Cemetery in Hammersdale, west of Durban, last Friday afternoon.
In Wushwini, near Hillcrest, the Gumbi family hold tightly onto faith that the bodies of three young girls will be found after being washed into the Inanda Dam.
