0 Less than a minute

At least seven people are reported to have died from floods in South Africa’s Kwazulu-Natal province, with the death toll expected to rise.

Many areas in the south-eastern parts of the province are recovering from heavy rains and storms that hit earlier in the week.

A body of a woman in her 20s and a teenage girl were the latest to be retrieved from a canal in the city of Durban.

At least 70 homes have been destroyed and more than 150 people left homeless, according to the provincial authorities.

Disaster management teams are still assessing the impact of the floods.
