Town’s CBD still flooded, residents evacuated

LADYSMITH – The key industrial town of Ladysmith in northern KwaZulu-Natal is still flooded. Victims of the floods have been evacuated and moved to community halls.

Fortunately, no deaths has been reported so far after emergency services personnel swiftly implemented a prior prepared rescue plan as soon as the rain started pouring around 8pm last night.

This comes after over 21 people died when the town was hit by floods on Christmas eve. Some victims of the floods are still missing.
