More than 10,000 people have been left destitute, following heavy rains over the Cape Peninsula. Several informal settlements and many roads have been flooded after heavy downpours drenched the region.
More rain is predicted. Among the informal settlements hit by flooding, are those in the area between Nyanga and KTC.
"The people yesterday slept in water. That is why I reported it to the council. It was very difficult for them to come down. They told us that they were very busy in Klipfontein. I know that all the areas were flooded. But now it was very difficult for the people to sleep. I see now in front of me that there are people who are busy trying to drain the water out," said Gladstone Ntamo, Cape Town City councillor for the area. - SABC
