First Thing is First | Parts of the KwaZulu-Natal coast have been hit by severe flooding once again. Members of the SANDF were roped in to help the emergency response teams as heavy rains wreaked havoc across KwaZulu-Natal. Disaster management teams have also been deployed to areas affected by flooding. This is the second time in just over a month that parts of Durban have been hit by floods. Last month 448 people died in the devastating floods. The KwaZulu-Natal government says its resources have been stretched thin as it tries to limit the impact of the floods on residents and infrastructure. The communities of Umlazi, Wentworth, Isipingo, Amanzimtoti, Umdloti and Tongaat have been some of the hardest hit. Residents in low-lying areas have been urged to move to higher ground.
