Flooding on the Coasts
South Africa’s coasts have been battered with storms on both the Indian Ocean and Atlantic sides. Severe flooding has beset the coastal regions of the Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal. Naturally the most vulnerable populations, the poor, those living in informal settlements, have been hit the worst. Cleanup has begun in KwaZulu-Natal, though the process will inevitably be slow. death tolls have surpassed the double digit levels, but many more are missing and it is hard not to fear the worst.
