Ramaphosa says government will help those affected by the floods in KZN

President Cyril Ramaphosa has assured residents affected by the damage caused by heavy rains in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), that the government will assist them.

Over 50 people have died while many others have been left destitute as their homes have been destroyed by the flooding.

KZN Premier, Sihle Zikalala earlier declared the province a disaster area.

Ramaphosa is visiting various communities in the province in the midst of the floods.

“What is painful is that a lot of people have died. Their homes have been destroyed, streets, towns and this church has been destroyed. So we said let’s go to the areas to see the damage ourselves in order to see how the government can help,” Ramaphosa.
