Dozens still missing as South Africa floods death toll rises to 443

The floods have left thousands homeless, knocked out power and water services and disrupted operations at one of Africa's busiest ports, Durban. A provincial economic official estimated the overall infrastructure damage at more than 10 billion rand .

In some of the worst-affected areas, residents said they were terrified by the thought of more rain, which was forecast to fall on Sunday. Some faced an agonising wait for news of missing loved ones. "We are traumatised by the sight of rain," Mjoka, 47, told Reuters, adding that her home had been badly damaged.

"Everything is a harsh reminder of what we lost, and not being able to find is devastating because we can't grieve or heal. At this stage we are left feeling empty," Lethiwe Sibiya, 33, told Reuters.
