Scores of trucks travelling on the N3 between Durban and Pietermaritzburg came to a grinding halt outside Mariannhill Toll Plaza on Tuesday after deadly floods that have killed at least 20 people hit KwaZulu-Natal overnight, with Durban and surrounding areas among the hardest hit regions.
Scores of other residents were still missing and the SANDF had been activated to assist the province with rescue operations, KZN Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs MEC Sipho Hlomuka said on Tuesday morning.
