The national disaster management centre has received reports ranging from flooded homes, vehicles swept away by floodwaters and overflowing dams while farmers have lost crops and livestock.

Government has declared a national state of disaster after floods that affected large parts of the country.

It means members of the police service and the defence force may be required to play a role in response to the floods, Magwenya said. The minister of co-operative governance and traditional affairs may declare a national disaster should a disastrous event happen or threaten to happen in more than one province.

Section 23 of the Act classified the impact of current and above-normal rainfall in various parts of the country as a national disaster.
