A man shocked peeps with a pic of a road that had been swept away due to heavy rains in his area in a post on Twitter. The post comes after heavy rains in KwaZulu-Natal were reported to have caused serious damage to structures such as houses, cemeteries and roads.

In the pic, a part of where the road used to be was shown with not even fragments of the road in sight. Peeps were standing on the edge of the damaged road, stranded with no way of crossing what was now a deep ravine.

Peeps on Twitter were more concerned by the quality of KwaZulu-Natal's infrastructure. The heavy rains in the province destroyed a number of houses and roads which begged the question from peeps about the integrity of the land the structures were built on.

"Please do understand if there are so many road blockages and infrastructure damages and reported incidents at the same time. It takes very long to get assistance. Even those supposed to help might be blocked somewhere."

Viral video shows an entire house vanished due to floods in KwaZulu Natal, breaking the hearts of many Saffas

In a similar story Briefly News reported that a video about a lost house posted on TikTok added to the growing number of destroyed homes in KwaZulu-Natal due to heavy rain. The clip was posted by Duanne Haywood and showed what was now a gully in the spot where a house once stood.

Duanne's video did not need any explanation as it was clear to see what caused the destination. What surprised many peeps however was that, had it not been for his caption, it would have been hard to tell that there once stood an entire house.

Peeps were in utter dismay after seeing the TikTok video. Many sympathised with the homeowners and shared words of encouragement while others were reminded of the family members that they lost in the floods.
