Tornado causes ruins in Durban

Tornado caused havoc in KwaZulu-Natal on Monday night.

Lives lost and thousands of people have been left homeless.


According to eNCA, the death toll has risen to six.

The storm also knocked out power lines, leaving many parts of eThekwini without electricity.

“The impact that it has left — the devastation — it’s phenomenal,” said Bilal Jeewa, of the Gift of the Givers Foundation, which deployed to the area on Monday night, to bolster relief efforts in the wake of the tornado, heavy rains and strong winds that lashed parts of the province.

“There’s a lot of damage to homes, schools and infrastructure. There’s been no electricity in areas that have been hit so it’s a chain reaction of that.”

See below the video of the tornado which lasted for 45 mins.
