South Africa’s Eastern Cape is reeling from unimaginable devastation after deadly floods, driven by an intense cold front with gale-force winds and snow, swept across the province. The town of Mthatha bears the brunt, with a school bus carrying students tragically swept away, and the death toll escalating to 49. Hundreds of families are homeless, their lives uprooted. As rescue operations enter their third day, the National Disaster Management Centre coordinates relief efforts amidst widespread destruction. This disaster highlights the vulnerability of poor communities to extreme weather, echoing the 2022 Durban floods. South Africa mobilizes for recovery as the waters recede, offering deepest condolences to affected families and urging vigilance.

I presume the rescue staff are pulling a body inside a blue bag; at 2.11 minutes into the above clip. If it's a human body then it is disrespectful to the deceased and their family
Stop builing shacks on floid areas near rivers. Nature always takes back its natural flow. You do it in Natal too, stop it, you wil loose everytime.
No this is lies
🙏
This is footage from the floods that happened in the Overberg,Paarl & Franschhoek and many areas in the western cape some time ago.
This is fake reporting.
South Africans we need to turn back to God Almighty. There are so many things happening in our that are against us. Our nation needs intervention, we have done it before and I believe we can do it again. These are the last days, let us repent and ask for mercy
This going on in our ruined country while the thieving, crooked ANC politicians in charge turn a blind eye, and steal another mil…they couldn't care less!!
Dont worry our politicians are safe and dry ! Showing KFC .
Western countries are primarily behind this climate catastrophe.
Repent! Repent! No more delay, The kingdom of God is at hand.
We are deeply saddened by the recent disaster in South Africa that claimed over 49 lives and displaced many more. We pray for the victims and extend our heartfelt condolences to all affected. This tragedy highlights the urgent need for stronger disaster risk reduction, early warning systems, and climate-resilient infrastructure. We stand in solidarity and call for coordinated efforts to support recovery and resilience.
God bless your people forgive them for they don't know what they are doing let them know what is love to a neighbor
Government needs to start the process of building new homes for these people Now, Today!
How the hell do they engage, people need to wake up and start protesting for proper homes, Now Today!!!!!
Mzansi sonile as a country uzamcolo lona ulaka luka nkulunkulu luphumile we used to be Cristian country that fear God not any more more is coming uzosishaya umdali let’s go back and pray
Mix and match visuals from many different disasters…sloppy reporting 😮
This never happened during the white government! We built decent roads, our buildings were built by people with brains! We did not steal all the money and go on holiday trips, cost the taxpayers millions of rands! Soooooo? Who's fault is this? Is it again APARTHEID FAULT AFTER 33 YEARS OF ANC!
Lord have mercy

Umntu urhuqwa njengenja efileyo na ?
Bad province. Corrupt officials we must not blame god

Am deeply sorry to xoil who lost her family and missing children I wish she can find and peace I know what she goes truth in life her look like my story 💔 🙏 😔 ❤️ it's little different be strong nothing than paryers
What a load of rubbish. The floods did not hit the whole province, they hit Transkei the most evil part of the province. Im in the EC and we have no floods, today I washed my blanket manually (its heavy for the machine), let it drip for 2hrs, hung it around 1pm, and its dry. Im under it right now.
The people if Mthatha are demonic. This is the most evil place in the province.
GOD HAVE MERCY ON US
GOD HAVE MERCY ON US
Stop attacking foreigners otherwise u will see 🔥
Abahambe is south African slogan let them enjoy the results of dudula God is the answer for everything
May their bful souls rest in peace.
Ramaphosa must not run to IMF or World bank for relief loan We have BRICS and besides the country should be having reserves.
That is why there should be no poor people. No people should be left behind. This is because they are a group who suffer the most in calamities like these. Capitalism leaves a lot of people poor and infact is thrives out of others poverty and neglect. We should not be fooled by the western exploitative machinery that sees anything oppesed to capitalism as an enemy. Communism and Socialism are too not perfect but we need to apply a hybrid of these three systems that is based on African needs from case to case. Corruption cannot be ruled out because monies siphoned could have provided high systematic drainage and vigilant infrastructure. God punishes the corrupt in various ways. ln Nigeria the leanered are turned criminals because of a grossly corrupt state
