Seven people are confirmed to have died during a devastating flood in the Kariega (Uitenhage) area following heavy weekend rains in Nelson Mandela Bay.
Vagrants are complicit in the vandalism of the War Memorial in Eighth Avenue, Walmer, and adding to its woes is the drug paraphernalia flooding the empty tomb honouring the dead from World War 1.
Drawing a parallel with the deadly deluges that devastated KwaZulu-Natal, experts have warned that if the damage caused by the recent rains in Nelson Mandela Bay is anything to go by, the city is desperately unprepared to negotiate the impact of a flood.
