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.
Social Development MEC Bukiwe Fanta says contingency plans are in place with more torrential rain expected.
The Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality, the provincial government, and NPOs say they will continue providing support to families who are still unable to find suitable homes.
