Team co-ordinator, Dave Steyn says, “There had been times where we encountered with angry communities and we tried to expose them to the fact that it was so vast and we cannot be everywhere at once. Some of the negatives as joint operation centre, our helicopters, we don’t have enough, SAAF and SAPS. We also noticed that on the police side we definitely have insufficient search and rescue k9 in the country as a whole and definitely in the province.

At the KwaDinabakubo hall in Molweni, people say they are praying that the promised temporary houses units are completed soon. “The total damage caused by the floods to our infrastructure is estimated to be sitting at the 3.8 billion rand in eThekwini excluding Human Settlements. When it comes to electricity, you recall, that over one hundred power stations were severely affected by the floods which plunged many parts of our city into darkness.
