The Department of International Relations and Cooperation says South Africa has sent SANDF helicopters to help look for the missing Ekurhuleni MMC Andile Mngwevu, who has gone missing in Mozambique.
Mngwevu and three other people went missing in Chokwe, Mozambique, after their vehicle was swept away by floods.
The area has been affected by recent heavy rains, which also affected Limpopo and Mpumalanga.
