South Africa floods kill at least 90 people

At least 90 people have died in severe flooding that has ravaged eastern South Africa this past week. The flooding, which began around Mthatha in the Eastern Cape province, caused river levels to surge and displaced thousands. Rescue operations are ongoing, and the death toll is expected to rise further. President Cyril Ramaphosa attributed the disaster to climate change during his visit. Flooding is a recurring issue in southeastern South Africa, with a similar event in 2022 claiming over 400 lives.
