Yesterday's flash floods in Johannesburg claimed the lives of four people - with the search for a three-year-old girl suspended until tomorrow morning.
The house of little Everlate Chauke and her parents was flooded due to the heavy rain.
Everlate fell from her father's arms when they climbed a tree to escape the water and she was then swept away.
