She said a join operations centre has also been set-up in the area.

Dube-Ncube says practical assistance will continue until affected residents are in a position to begin rebuilding their lives.
COGTA estimates damages could be in the tune of 10-million-rand.
Meanwhile, Dube-Ncube says despite recent storms - much of the province remains caught in the grips of drought - including the uThukela District where the storm occurred at the weekend.
COGTA says combined dam levels across the province are at just 55 percent.
