LOCAL residents felt the full brunt of heavy rains that battered the East Coast over the weekend. In Durban North a tree collapsed on Welwitschia Avenue, while several manholes were pushed out of place.

In Sea Cow Lake, a four-year-old boy was rescued from a collapsed building due to a mudslide. There were several accidents along the M4, which in some parts was covered in water.

At least six people were killed in separate incidents due to the heavy rains.

Here’s a look at a gallery of pictures of the damage done to Durban:
