Johannesburg Mayor Herman Mashaba has declared a local state of disaster after a storm hit Protea Glen and other parts of Soweto last weekend.

The cost of the damage caused by the storm is estimated at close to R186 million.

The cost is expected to rise as City of Johannesburg personnel continue to assess the damage.

Over 3000 households are said to be affected. Mashaba says his risk assessment team continues to investigate the damage and they will give out a full report within 60 days.
