Two dead, 4 missing in Eastern Cape floods
Two people have died at Kariega in Gqeberha, and four others remain missing amid heavy rain and flooding on Saturday.
Craig Lambinon of the National Sea Rescue Institute said they've rescued at least 70 people and are still working to assist those affected.
"Multiple rescue operations remain underway," he said.
"In one incident, at around 03h00, an SMHART security officer reported a vehicle with 6 persons trapped in the flooded Brak River, Rocklands. One male was recovered safely from an island that had formed in the river, an adult female was swept away and is missing, and the remaining four of these six people were recovered safely on the southern side of the river.
"Multiple rescue operations have recovered persons safely from buildings, residences and vehicles.
"The fire station at Kariega has been flooded," said Lambinon.
