Incessant rains have submerged villages across Limpopo and Mpumalanga, sweeping away homes, cutting off roads and leaving communities isolated and desperate. The Kruger National Park had to suspend visits and evacuate some guests and staff by helicopter. The floods have claimed 11 lives in Limpopo while 20 people have died in Mpumalanga since that start of the heavy rains last month. Besides the human cost, the two provinces now face repair bills to roads, bridges and other public infrastructure that will cost billions of rand, money the provinces simply do not have.  An orange level 9 warning has been issued by the South African Weather Service, forecasting yet more rain in affected areas and warning communities to remain alert and to stay clear of roads and overflowing rivers. But with food and other resources running low, many have no option but to brave the flooded, damaged and dangerous roads.
