At least 13 families have been left destitute after a storm caused havoc in Matatiele in the Eastern Cape.

Seventy-nine-year-old Maqhinebe Mamne says this is not the first time a storm has affected her.

“I had just arrived home from town. As I started cooking, I heard a young boy telling me to run, I asked why. I then saw the door coming in and tried to hold it. I saw the roofing all over the place, I don’t know how I will fix this. This is not the first time. No one helped me, I made plans and fixed it.”“Thirteen houses were damaged, so we have discussed with the district municipality. We are going there now; we will then discuss and find mechanisms that we can use in terms of assisting.

Flood-affected residents in the Nyandeni Municipality in the Eastern Cape desperately urged government for assistance.Share article
