We know that it snowed heavily in many parts of the country over the weekend (HERE), and that tends to create havoc on the roads, but now it’s flooding that’s causing severe damage and loss of life.

The death toll in KZN has now risen to three as authorities struggle to help those in need, with a body already recovered in the Chatsworth area.

Below are a selection of pictures from TimesLive and News24:

This from the same source shows that it’s not just the KZN under the pump:

More than 9000 people have been affected by flooding in Cape Town, the City’s Disaster Risk Management has confirmed.

Spokesperson Charlotte Powell said NGOs have been called in to assist with blankets and hot meals for 6000 people in Philippi and 3200 in Khayelitsha after 2300 homes were affected by heavy rains…

The adverse weather conditions are expected to continue across large parts of the Western Cape until Thursday.

Provincial spokesperson for minister of local government, environmental affairs and development planning James-Brent Styan said heavy rain can still be expected in the Overberg and Peninsula region, along the West Coast, its adjacent interior and the Cape Winelands.

“In addition gale force wind and very cold weather conditions can be expected,” he said.

And you folks in Jozi thought a tornado close to the city (HERE) was bad?

Button down the hatches good people, this could be a rocky few days.
