The family has lost two grandchildren who died at home during the course of incident, 11 year old Lwandle and 7 year old Lusanda, lost their life when their home collapsed, 3 year old Luyanda is however still missing after the floodwaters washes off their home.

The state KZN is under seem to be derailing with the number of death toll rising, sitting at over 306 as of this moment. Families are beyond devastated won’t wonder of where to begin, houses have collapsed, mud slides restructured buildings and houses into pieces. Roads have torn apart with no way points, jobs and schools are at a standstill, vehicles are unable to operate as people have forced themselves to head to work, risking their lives by crossing through roads that are destroyed.
