 South Africa floods kill seven people, 11 missing


Floods in South Africa have killed at least seven people and left 11 others missing.


Rescue teams battled in torrential rain on Tuesday to find victims of flash floods across a South African province that left at least seven people dead and 11 others missing, officials said.


A muddy deluge up to 10 metres (33 feet) deep swept through a district of Ladysmith, in KwaZulu Natal province, destroying homes and carrying away cars, rescuers said.


Six people were confirmed dead and ten missing, provincial authorities said.


Further south, an overflowing river at Mandeni carried away three people. One eight-year-old boy was confirmed dead and one man was missing, the IPSS rescue organisation said.


'No chance to grab anything'


Rainstorms held up the search for bodies in Ladysmith, 230 kilometres (140 miles) northwest of Durban, where the torrent hit late Sunday.


Tereza van den Berg, a team leader for IPSS, said that the torrent "in places 10 metres deep" tore through a caravan park and carried away vehicles crossing a bridge.


"Nobody had a chance to grab anything," she said. Some of the cars were found three kilometres downstream.


Three bodies were found in a minibus carrying nine passengers. The other six are still missing.
