Storm: 2 dead, 1 500 evacuated

Two people, one of them a state vet, are feared drowned and more than 1 500 people were evacuated from their homes along the Garden Route as heavy rain continued to pelt down on Friday.

The two believed to have died are a 12-year-old boy who was playing with friends close to the swollen Kraanskop river, and a 65-year-old man, reported to be a state vet, who was trying to save a pump from the Diep River near Hoekwil. His body has not been recovered... - Cape Argus
