O.R Tambo District Municipality should organise helicopters 🚁& 🛥️ to rescue people in the Mthatha West AreaLet us pray for Mthatha.🙏🙏 We experienced heavy rains last night which flooded most homes. Please check your loved ones. I have never seen such horrific scenes in my life I was shaking this morning when I drove along Slovo
Park.Many parts of Mthatha West such as Slovo have been heavily affected by the heavy rains which led to Mthatha River overflowing to its banks and flooding the homes that were built too close to the River. Water levels were as high as 5m in certain parts and some houses are totally submerged under water.
It is not yet clear how many people have been affected by this but the number is estimated to be quite high as there are many houses built on the river banks.
