At least 10 people have died and more than 1,000 have been displaced
following flooding in South Africa's eastern KwaZulu-Natal province,
public television reported on Thursday.

SABC television said that one person was still missing after the
unseasonally heavy rains caused flooding and wreaked havoc with
widespread damage.

Officials have been making efforts to move people out of affected areas
to safety as well as providing relief, local government spokesman Mike
Mabuyakulu said on SABC radio.
