More than 300 families at the Nancefield Hostel in Soweto are assessing their losses after their personal belongings and homes were damaged by floods on Friday afternoon.

Johannesburg Human Settlements MMC Mlungisi Mabaso together with the Disaster Management Services visited the affected families.

He adds, “There has never been any flooding to that hostel, but now because there’s construction here they have diverted the water to flow to that hostel and it is a problem that is sitting with the Department now. But we are going to communicate with them.”Nancefield Hostel residents say the water swept through their homes in a violent torrent. They say the water level was at their hips. Watermarks on the walls are a grim testament to this.
