EC flood victims in temporary shelters as more rains expected

GQEBERHA - Flood victims in the Nelson Mandela Bay Metro say they wish politicians can live in their communities to understand their plight.

Hundreds are still being kept in community halls as provincial authorities are still making plans to find them temporary shelter.

As another cold front approaches, provincial government officials who visited Gqeberha on Wednesday have urged those who've lost their homes to remain in safe places.
