People walk pass the Quarry road informal settlement outside Durban on April 18, 2022 as rain begins to fall once after winds, heavy rainfall and mudslides destroyed many homes and infrastructure last week.  South Africa deployed 10 00- troops on Monday to help restore power and water and search for 63 people who remain missing after deadly storms battered its East Coast.  A week after unprecedented rain began to pound the City of Durban and KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) province, the death toll stood at 443 and rescue workers said hopes of finding more survivors were fading.  (Photo by Rajesh Jantilal/AFP).

 

Atleast 40 000 people have been left homeless after KwaZulu-Natal received four Months of rain in one day, prompting the Government to put South Africa back in a National State of disaster after a recently suspended two-year spell in response to Covid-19.

 

“These are the worst floods we’ve ever seen.  In over 24 hours, there was 300 to 400mm of rain, “ Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Minister Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma told a news conference on Tuesday, crediting climate change as a catalyst for the extreme weather.

 

“February is usually the wettest Month, where we get about 102mm in one Month.  This tells us climate change is here with us now.  Scientists are telling us Eastern parts of the Country will be wetter with frequent floods and the West is dryer with frequent droughts.  Each will be worse than the last”

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."
