On 11 April 2022, the weather system which triggered the floods led to in excess of 300mm of rainfall being dumped over a 24-hour period. That's a lot more than compared with previous episodes of serious flooding.

In 2019, 165mm fell on 22 April and in 2017, 108mm was recorded on 10 October. The amount of rain which fell on Monday was equal to about 75% of South Africa's average annual precipitation - and would have resulted in some form of flooding without any other contributing factors, according to experts.

Heavy rain and flooding has led to the massive damage to infrastructure and to some other transport links in the famous city of Durban, as well as other surrounding areas in the Kwazulu-Natal province. If you are by chance, travelling in the area, you must be very cautious of the risk of roads closed and some other delays and also some disruption to services that are normally rendered under normal circumstances. It is of outmost importance to listen to your local authorities, keep your ear near the local radio as well at all times possible. If by luck, you have not left your soft spot where you live and you had the wish to travel Kwazulu-Natal, check if your destination was also affected by the heavy floods and check if your route is clear or good enough to travel on.

Cassper Nyovest's commercial success may be traced back to his ability to harness his talents.

Cassper Nyovest was photographed dancing at his table at the official Celeb City after-party on Sunday night, only hours after he'd stepped to the ring and lost to Naak Musiq in an exhibition bout at Sun City's Superbowl. He was wearing his distinctive Root of Fame 990 sneakers, a self-branded T-shirt with his face on it, and a bottle of his own liquor brand, Don Billiato, in the video.   It was an outlandish flex that demonstrated his unrivaled business acumen and ownership. Despite suffering a humiliating defeat in front of the entire country, the 31-year-old is on a roll. The amount of control he has over his own career — he owns his songs, wears his own clothing line, and drinks his own liquor brand — reminds me of American rapper Rick Ross, who is dubbed "The Biggest Boss." Cassper, like Ross, who has extended his company portfolio in the last year to include businesses as disparate as a hot wings fast food outlet and potato chips, is generating money ...
