Damage after a flood.
Heavy overnight rainfall has led to widespread flooding across the KwaZulu-Natal south coast.
The Provincial Department of Cooperative Governance says the most affected areas include the N2 at Murchison, the Umbango Bridge, the Nkongweni Bridge at Margate, and Isipingo on the N2 south of Durban.
Teams have been deployed to conduct evacuations and provide assistance to affected communities. Several roads in the south of Durban and along the south coast are currently impassable due to severe flooding, with road closures in place on key routes.
The department has confirmed that no fatalities have been reported in the latest flooding. This follows the deaths of nine people in the province last week due to heavy rains and mudslides.
