Disaster management teams on high alert ahead of severe thunderstorms in KZN
DURBAN - KZN MEC for Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs has urged residents to be cautious “as lightning poses a deadly risk” following a warning by the South African Weather Service about severe thunderstorms expected in northern, western and interior parts of the province.
“We are urging residents to be cautious as lightning poses a deadly risk in our communities, especially in our rural areas. “Our disaster management teams will be keeping a keen eye on areas that are most prone to such incidents. We appeal to all residents to stay alert,” said Dube-Ncube. Rural communities in KZN have in the recent past fallen victim to severe thunderstorms that have left a number of fatalities in their wake.
To mitigate these risks, the department continues to roll out lightning rods to communities in areas that are most prone to lightning strikes.
