    ​@@YiUGUYSwhy must someone else do it for you. I saw it myself in Luwandile in Strand. The drainage canals were blocked with garbage and the whole road was flooded. Fortunately for me I was driving a 4 wheel drive and I got through. People people must learn to keep their place clean.

    What you are seeing here is minimal. The reporter is standing in a safe place for the interview. This doesn't show any storm damage. 4000 people have lost their shelters in the informal in one day. The poorest are suffering the most. That's the point of the interview.

    How about you trade your house with one of these people then they can take on your crazy storms with your living standards and buying power, and you take on this silly storm with their living standards and buying power. No? You don't want that? Figures
