Jozini, Mbazwana, Manguzi and Umhlabuyalingana have been battered by disruptive rains after Mozambique was lashed by tropical storm Filipo.
This prompted a Level 6 warning by the weather office.
Officials from the Department of Cooperative Governance have urged residents and motorists to refrain from crossing bridges and roads submerged by flood water - warning that the risk is not over yet.
Meanwhile, the SA Weather Service has sent out a fresh Level 2 warning for the northern and north-western parts of KZN on Thursday.

"It's a severe thunderstorm warning that is covering places like Ladysmith, Dundee, Vryheid and Newcastle," said forecaster Sihle Dlamini.
"We are expecting localised damage to infrastructure and excessive lightning as well."
