Cllr Khoza of Ward 15 said this is the first time they have ever experienced a disaster of this magnitude. “Over 300 houses have been destroyed by this rainfall. What pains me most is that people were left without any shelter. Some have built shacks which are not safe at all.”
He added that help is requested from business people, charity organisations and churches, etc.
