A FLASH storm in Durban last night resulted in numerous fallen trees due to last night’s strong winds and heavy rain.
The eThekwini Municipality released a statement on its Facebook page stating that teams from the City’s Parks, Recreation and Culture Unit had their hands full since the early hours of the morning clearing fallen trees.
I am one of two journalists working on the Berea Mail Newspaper. We produce stories weekly for both print and online. I am dedicated to producing content that is current and engaging to our audiences, and with the help of our digital co-ordinator, Khurshid Guffar, and our editor, Corrinne Louw, we focus on producing content that keeps up with online trends and audience preferences. The Berea Mail website showcases a wide array of articles that fall under various categories, from entertainment, lifestyle, schools and food to crime, municipality-related stories and other hard news. I have been with the Berea Mail Newspaper for more than two years, and I am committed to producing accurate and newsworthy content. I have a good rapport with the local community and enjoy covering community-centred stories and sharing the stories of our local residents.
