Search ongoing for children swept by floodwaters
The search for the bodies of two children swept away by flash floods in Dundee in northern KZN has entered its fourth day.
Officers have already recovered the bodies of three other victims from the Ohlanga river, at the Overdale Farm.
The Department of Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs' Msawakhe Mayisela says nine-year-old, Ayabonga Steel and his two friends were swept away during a storm while they were outside a home in Dundee.
"Our MEC has sent her heartfelt condolences to their families and has dispatched our disaster management teams to offer the much-needed help. She has therefore urged our people all over the province of KZN - more especially those residing in the northern parts of the province - to be careful. There are severe thunderstorms that have been predicted," he says.
