Some residents were left with damaged and roofless properties on Saturday after heavy rains swept through parts of Nkomazi and surrounding areas in Mbombela. A popular joint in Kabokweni Cargo Lounge was also left roofless including a damaged wall.
The Nkomazi Local Municipality reported that about nine houses in Driekoppies, Middleplaas, Mogogeni and Schoemansdal were the affected areas. Last Tuesday, a nine-year-old boy in Louisville died after a brick wall collapsed onto him when a hailstorm battered the area leaving 25 houses damaged.
