With more rain expected, can South Africa cope?
Hundreds have died in KwaZulu Natal, in what South African officials are calling \u2018one of the worst weather storms in the history of the country\u2019.\n \nIn one utterly heartbreaking instance, one family is said to have lost ten members in the floods.\n \nDays of torrential rain have washed away homes, roads and bridges, prompting the government to declare a state of disaster. Mudslides have trapped people under buildings. Electricity and water have been restored to some areas and authorities say that almost 41,000 people are affected around the city of Durban. \n \nRescue workers continue to go from house to house, desperately trying to find people who went missing.\n \nWith the weather service warning of more floods expected in coming days, today, Mpho Lakaje, in Johannesburg, is asking how South Africa will cope. \n \nHe\u2019s joined by Nokuthula Nyandeni, one of those affected and Dr. Imtiaz Sooliman, from a non-governmental organization helping out \u2013 Gift of the Givers.
