Speaking at the gaping hole where her RDP house used to stand in H-section on Saturday, Fikelephi Mungwe, 62, said she did not even know where to begin to pick up the pieces of her life. Mungwe, an Umlazi resident since 1974, said her house had been built and allocated to her as an RDP housing beneficiary around 2010 or 2011.
Ward 32 councillor Amon Dladla said the municipality and the provincial government were in talks about relocating the victims of the floods to another place yet to be identified.
