At least two homes have been evacuated over fears that they could collapse as the area surrounding the M4 freeway in Durban continues to erode in heavy rain.
Attempts to repair the freeway - which links Umhlanga with the King Shaka International Airport north - have been set back by ongoing rainfall. The road has been closed since last month when it collapsed in heavy downpours. Metro police spokesperson Parboo Sewpersadh said the occupants of the homes above the M4 were evacuated on Wednesday because they were unsafe.Resort, Nasreen Suleman, said that this week's rain was at its worst on Wednesday.
She said that heir hotel avoided being evacuated as they were quick to assess the situation and act on it. "Wednesday was probably the worst day because when I got here they had not diverted the water coming out of a pipe. It was flowing down like a waterfall – almost like a raging river," she said.
