“There was loud thunder. I have never heard thunder so loud. So, I thought I should go and check if it did not cause any damage. When I got to my brother’s rondavel the door was broken. He was lying on the floor. When I got closer he was not breathing. We are only left with one rondavel that is leaking. We ask for help with the burial. We don’t have anything,” says family spokesperson, Mfundisen Tshwathi.
