Residents of a low-cost housing project in oThongathi north of Durban say they are now living in fear after their complex was flooded for the second time in just over a month. KZNFloods

Emergency personnel assisting residents in Durban, KZN, 22 May, 2022

About 20 of the residents, who have returned to the complex next to a river after the April floods, had to be evacuated Saturday night when flood waters reached knee height.Seventy-year-old Omilladevi Sookdeo, who lives with a grandchild with Down syndrome, says it was terrifying to watch the floodwater rise again.

“So the water was rushing this way, that I’m standing there that I can’t even stand. The baby climbed on top and said, “you know I’m not coming down.” And and he’s praying, “Jesus help me, Jesus help me!” And he’s even praying to our Hindu gods, whatever it is. And he’s a Down syndrome child. He’s a 22-year old boy. His dad wasn’t here. He was by me. So now we can’t do nothing now. My mattress got wet. My bed got thrown.
