Mop-up operations are underway in Pietermaritzburg after a freak storm wreaked havoc late yesterday afternoon. KwaZulu-Natal has been in the grips of a heatwave in the last few days. In some areas houses were damaged, roads and business premises flooded and trees uprooted. A fourteen-year-old girl was apparently killed after struck by lightning in the KwaDukuza area. Authorities are still assessing the full extent of the damage. We now cross live to our reporter, Sbongakonke Mbatha. For more news, visit: sabcnews.com
