The Presidency says via a statement that Ramaphosa’s thoughts are with families who have lost loved ones, people who have been injured and individuals, businesses and organisations who have lost property.

Due to the constraints presented by the state of the roads in the flood areas and rescue missions currently under way, facilitation of media coverage will be constrained.

The Presidency will endeavour to gather footage and distribute to the media.
