Search for 10 missing people in Ladysmith continues after devastating KZN floods
The Alfred Duma Local Municipality in KwaZulu-Natal on Tuesday bolstered resources to search for 10 missing people following deadly floods in Ladysmith.
Search and rescue teams have been working tirelessly since six bodies were found in the area.
Authorities say a riverbank along the Bellspruit collapsed, leading to severe flooding on Christmas Eve.
Emergency services teams, including divers, braved the rain to search for the missing persons along the river.
The town’s streets are covered in mud. Several vehicles washed away by the floods have still not been recovered.
Mayor Zama Sibisi has told the publication that boosting resources would go a long way in the search mission.
“We are praying that those bodies that have not been recovered are recovered because rescue teams, police, and our disaster teams from the district municipality are on the ground looking for those bodies.”
Sibisi said they’ve requested a police helicopter to assist in the search.
