Flood-stricken Farmers In Limpopo Left Stranded

The farming community of Stockpoort and Thabazimbi in the Limpopo province has been left stranded after many of their farms were flooded and their crops submerged.

The Stockpoort Border Post has been closed after floods left it inaccessible.

A game lodge near the Stockpoort border post is also partially flooded.

The co-owner of the lodge, Willem Du Toit, says they will assess the extent of damage when the water has subsided.

About 60 of the lodge was underwater. Most of the pathways have turned into sludge. So, its difficult to walk around. Clean-up operations are going very slow. We may not be able to determine the damages for weeks. Luckily, no one has been injured or drowned.
