Since the devastating storm, the family has been using a temporary cover provided by the municipality.

According to Gugu Masilela, who was in the house with his sister during the storm, their roof surprisingly flew away after a strong gust of wind.

Fortunately, no one was injured during the incident, and none of their belongings were damaged.
