Floods, mudslides kill five in South Africa 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseAt least five people died early Tuesday in South Africa’s coastal city of Durban after torrential rains triggered mudslides that crushed homes, emergency services said. “Torrential rains damaged peoples houses (and) there were mudslides,” Garrith Jamieson, spokesman for Rescue Care, told AFP. Victims were either crushed to death by the mudslides or drowned in flood waters. The South African Weather Services warned that more heavy rain was expected until Wednesday which could lead to more flooding and pose a threat to low-lying bridges and roads.
