As residents of Kei Mouth and Morgan Bay (Gxarha) continued to pick up the pieces after last week’s devastating storm, it emerged there was plenty of damage further inland as well. The Amathole District Municipality (ADM) has appealed to the human settlements department for help with more than 200 families who were left homeless.
Frustrated and desperate residents of Gxarha (formerly Morgan Bay) and Kei Mouth had to take matters into their own hands to bring back water and lights to some parts after being without the essential services for almost a week.Several towns in the Eastern Cape, including the two towns, were left without electricity for days after a storm caused damage to Eskom infrastructure last Monday.
