Heavy rain washes away family home

The neighbours of a family of five in KwaZulu-Natal are appealing for help.

Last night the Mthethwa family home was destroyed by strong winds and heavy rains leaving them exposed to the elements. 

They have called the mud structure they live in, home for the last 35 years,

and have asked officials to give them a proper home.

The family was given R500 and the promise of a new home but since then no one has been back to offer them help
