Two women were killed when trees fell on them, and a business owner will have to close his business due to losing his stock and machinery worth millions after inclement weather battered their areas.
In Ekurhuleni, Gauteng, a 20-year-old woman, who has been identified as Seluleko, died on impact when a tree fell on the shack she was sleeping in on Wednesday morning in the Makausi informal settlement, Germiston.
Speaking to Sowetan, Temba Ntatha, 51, said he had told his son and Seluleko to sleep in his room at the time because theirs was leaking following the heavy rains and strong winds that had battered the area.
