South Africa – At least 45 people have been killed after intensely heavy rainfall in South Africa. Officials said homes have been ravaged and roads swept away in Durban, a coastal city in the east of the country, on Tuesday. The provincial government in KwaZulu-Natal province, which confirmed the number of dead, said the toll could rise further. Disaster management teams were evacuating people in areas hit by mudslides and where buildings had collapsed, officials said. Numerous bridges and other infrastructure has been damaged. South Africa suspended shipping at its main port in Durban after the heaviest rains in more than six decades and resultant flooding damaged roads leading to the harbour. The harbour is a key trade route for South Africa and its landlocked neighbors including Botswana, Zimbabwe and Zambia.
