WATCH | Port St Johns lashed by heavy rains

Residents  of flood-prone Port St Johns were left scrambling for safety as heavy rains came bucketing down for most of Thursday. Port St Johns Local Municipality  mayor Nomvuzo Mlombile-Cingo and her team were on hand to  assess the damage. Videos doing the rounds on social media showed schoolchildren and community members wading through flooded areas on their way home, while several cars were also seen trying to make their way through the water.
