Villagers Take Matters into Their Own Hands
In northern KwaZulu-Natal, villagers have to fix their own roads and drains as they cannot wait for the government to prepare for the next rainy season.
Elderly men in East Nquthu use concrete blocks to divert water that has flooded a bridge. Most weekends, Sbhamu Ngobese leads local youth in clearing rocks from the D2251 road in Mbewunye, east of Nquthu.
They are trying to prepare for the upcoming rainy season, when more of the road will most likely be eroded.
Over the last several years, heavy rain and floods have damaged homes, roads, and infrastructure, but residents say the damage is rarely fixed by the authorities and no preventative measures are taken.
