Distraught Families Still Searching For Loved Ones After Kzn Floods

Victims of Durbans floods are still mourning the loss of their loved ones, while others are yet to retrieve the bodies for burial. The Mhlongo family lost their mother, Zondeni Gcabashe, who was swept away in Tuesdays floods at Lamontville township, south of Durban.

Gcabashes daughter, Ntombikhona Mhlongo, says it is painful to live without her mother and her greatest wish is to retrieve the body so that they can bury her with dignity.

There are 47 households that have been moved to emergency residential areas including the Mhlongo family.

She says she is devastated as her mothers body is still missing.

"We are still waiting, and we hope that everything will go in the right direction to find my mom, that is the top priority at the moment. We call on everyone who can help us with the means of finding her to come forward and they are welcomed."
