Homes flooded in KZN

South African have used social media to send their support to KwaZulu-Natal flood victims.

Two people have been killed in KwaMashu and Umlazi, during heavy rains in KwaZulu-Natal.

Two more are missing after being swept away while trying to cross a low-lying bridge in Stanger.

Meanwhile, the South African Weather Service has issued a level five warning of flash flooding and poor visibility across the KwaZulu-Natal coast.

One Twitter user, Kuhle Ntlauzana says her friend lost his home after it collapsed due to the floods.

Dear employers in KZN, time for y’all to show empathy & allow your employees a bit of time today to sort out their lives #KZNFloods #Durbanfloods

Please don’t force going to work. Call in and tell them you won’t be able to get to work, uvale ucingo. Keep your kids safe. Just take care of yours first. Everyone can see what’s happening. #KZNFloods

Some have called for Eskom not to continue with blackouts as emergency services and victims need electricity.

@Eskom_SA, the last thing that the people of @eThekwiniM & KZN need right now is #loadshedding. Homes are flooded and there are rescue missions being attempted, yet you switch the off the power. Give people a chance to evacuate safely. #Durban #DurbanFloods #KZNFloods #eskomkzn

Authorities can’t control natural disasters but had they not been corrupt, times like this wouldn’t result in so much damage… fix drainage systems everywhere, make proper stable bridges, fix the roads. praying for everyone in KZN may God protect you ❤️ #KZNFloods
