The flooding harshly impacted thousands of people's lives and many found themselves without a roof over their heads due to their houses being destroyed by landslides.

The party sent two prominent members of the EFF to visit areas in KZN such as Inanda and eNhlungwane to hand out food parcels and blankets to residents, over the weekend, according to TimesLIVE.
