Intrusive Cape Town floods

On the other side of Cape Town, no ice was in sight but enormous floods. A family from Philippi was greeted by intrusive floods in their home as they got ready for the day. One family member, Yola Schalk, reached out to Briefly News to share her stressful day:

"Today was something I have never experienced before. One moment I was cleaning the next I was taking buckets of water out the house.
