But people still build their shacks in lowlying areas in summer not tsking into account that in winter the area will be flooded.

Where is the EFF that encouraged these people to squaut where ever they want😮😮😢😢

What's annoying is how when these displaced people are removed from this area, there'll be new ones coming in. It's a never ending cycle.

Appreciate Gift of the Givers so much but what about GOVERNMENT

i dont understand why we have the same issues every winter. preparation must be done during warmer days so when the winter weather hits these issues are sorted out.No man think leaders.

Shame Vanessa is cold u can see she feeling the shivers it's cold here in Jozi can imagine how these folks feeling hope all get warm shelter soon thanks to the gift of the givers

Feel sorry for the poor animals😢

Thanks to Vanessa, a brave woman.

Those residents are living in swampy areas (in normal winter conditions, Zantedeschia aethiopica growing everywhere). There is a high water table where they live. It is not possible to drain the water table so the swamps ensue.

Hope the down pour is not severe for these people. I grew up in Cape Town in heideveld and are used to cape winter weather. At least there weather warnings to prepare for the worst. Just imagine other parts of South Africa where there is absolutely no warning

I know there is alot of people right now who help please help her also🙏

Those places aren't environments for building informal homes. Infrastructure is important. They should never have built there. Sorry not sorry. You can't make poor choices and then expect others to help you when it inevitably fails. People have been warning about these informal settlements for decades and every year it's the same thing. Insanity. Literally.

Why dont the council clean the drains from time to time ,the drains are full that's why the is no where for the water to go

I really feel sorry for these people and the conditions they live in. - I see there are now complaints about the DA!!! As if they themselves let these people live in houses which are informal housing and which they came to erect themselves. Now I'm not completely stupid, but as far as I understand, a house plan and plot must first be approved by the municipality. After it is built to specifications, you pay local taxes to that municipal area where you live and only then are you entitled to the services and assistance offered..... The solution for these people will be to move as soon as possible to Gauteng or another province, where the ruling party is the ANC and will take care of them. Surely it cannot be that difficult to move these types of houses to another place ,,,,,. There isn't even a foundation...

I think Eastern Cape is dry

Lord have mercy on South Africa because if we are not prepared for a mere storm like this one how much more when intense weathers come like hurricanes and tornadoes etc...

Sorry, where are the homeless and what is happening with them. Pls do us favor by visiting them.

THE PEOPLE WANTED TO STAY IN THIS SITUATIONS THEY KEEPING ON PUTTING HOKKIES AND EVERY YEARS THEY HAVE THIS CRISIS SO SAD

It is moments like these when my privilege is blatantly clear. I feel so ashamed, our people are really suffering.

Father in Jesus Name thank you for amazing Gift of the givers and pray for these poor displaced people to be helped and Lord for this rain to stop. Bless all victims and all commentating and Bless all involved Thank You Lord Amen

Where is the DANC?? They need to builds roads and proper infrastructure for these ppl. Where are the emergency feeding schemes.

Move😂, the wise man build his house on ...I wil stay here someone will help, wash away. It is concerning that this happens over and over. There was no precautions cause we were in droughts...now we complain

Every year the same story... Yet these people don't prep in summer... They are talking about being poor yet each hok has a satellite dish, they have clothing accounts "but yet poor" please help me understand that. I know there are people out there who are genuinely underprivileged. 😢

^will they move some where else they so comfortable no bond no rent no rates really

Respect highly Earned and the Humanitarian aid /help and precious-Time dedicated from the Donars. & Everyone involved. ❤

Yhor sorry for those people but thanks for gift of the givers please if you can also give a hand to a woman living in Newfields 22 Andrews road this is only house that is like a small pool at moment she is carrying out buckets of water please help her 🙏🙏

So what is the solution of this problem because all settlement are in this problem so what the government say

People are milking the situation, those people look all well fed, if you can stand in line for food then there nothing wrong with you

I'm so grateful for the weather but i also pray for people in bad situations

Something has to be done for these poor people. Please help them

So sad.wish this community can be moved to a better place

all this comes down to a lack of service delivery, we need to keep the long term strategy in sight, so that extreme weather does not compromise communities to this degree in future.

I really feel sorry for these people ......But, really these kinds of reports from the SABC are unnecessary!! Who is the cause of this? These people live in housing that they themselves erected without any authorization?

Tornado hit Mitchell's plain before escalated to khayelitsha but no assistance from gift of the givers etc

And khayalitsha gets the most free funding ma the highest crime rate. When natural desaster strike the whole country must cry with them Eastern Cape is your home right??

Sad how many people are affected by severe weather.

Eish this is really bad😢😢😢

West coust we do have electricity very bad

Where is the minister of human settlements in all this? Not a peep out of her. Why is she not interviewed? Where are the plans to rid this country ofso called informal settlements which is just an euphemism for squatter camps. I people deserve better than to live in these squallid conditions year in and year out. It is a national situation not a provincial one for which a national plan of action is required urgently!

Not once ever heard of anc or da doing anything to help when disaster srikes

Accommodation for 4000 people is a big task, where can we put them?

What about the poor animals?

It's k@k cold ☃

May Allah swt give ease Aameen

Can someone please see that that dog in this video is protected from the cold too😢

Come on man. It's just winter! It's not that bad!

Always gift of the givers to the rescue. Algamdulila . Please save South Africa from doom

Wheres DA?

😢

Who is reporting here? SABC or Gift of the Givers?

Why do we haev a department is human settlements at National if they don't do anything???

But does the DA not said that,that is a well run Province

Whey didn't you go to Tafelsig but always there

Close the schools for this week

Cant they rise the shacks and build it on high foundation so they are not affected.

Send them to Johannes burg dry

The plan i have will help the western cape. If the D A start to implement the plan you can make a big difference in the next 4years but unfortunately people live in a McDonalds mindset. Order now and then get your food. The current problem will continue for the next 50 to 100 years if the plan does not get executed. The problem is too many red tape. Red tape and money keep the people in the dark and its time for people to put pressure and a focus on housing. I think i have a practical plan to start fixing this problem. Its a joke, for 30years nothing has been done. Only taking from the poor. We want to SEE and touch the changes.

🙌🙏🙏🙏

😢😢😢

I think this whether is going to level 9 tomorrow morning

Nature is Unpredictable and it’s Winter Weather Conditions Just as Bad in Summer with Heat Waves So Take every Season there is 4 Seasons and make the Best of it.

Ppl was supposed to avoided staying in informal settlement. We make our choice and now blame DA and government bcz we don't want to pay even R1 of rent.

Everybody says pray pray pray.. Lol, pray way before hand every day for things like this not to happen and see whether those prayers will be answered.. Don't pray after the fact..
