Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Four Zimbabweans are reported to have died while others are missing following heavy rains and floods that hit South Africa\u2019s KwaZulu-Natal Province over the past few days.<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe\u2019s Consul-General to Johannesburg Melody Chaurura said they are working with the South African government to verify the numbers and identity of Zimbabweans killed in the floods. She said:<\/p>\n

We have received reports on our people who have died in KwaZulu Natal.<\/p>\n

However, at this point, we cannot tell the total number or their identity since we are still verifying these reports with our host.<\/p>\n

As the consulate, we are ready to help those who were affected to make the repatriation of their remains seamless.<\/p>\n

Chairman of the Zimbabwe Community in South Africa, Nqabutho Mabhena, said a couple from Harare and two other people, one from Mutare and the other from Karoi perished in Pinetown near Durban when a house they were living in collapsed. Said Mabhena:<\/p>\n

The couple had settled in the area from Harare, while two more people are from Mutare and Karoi.<\/p>\n

As an organisation, we want to convey our heartfelt condolences to the grieving families.<\/p>\n

So, far we are making all available plans to help them so that they get a decent burial.<\/p>\n

According to SABC News, the official death toll from the Kwazulu-Natal floods has risen to 306.<\/p>\n

It said the number of people who have lost their lives rose on Wednesday as emergency workers managed to access more areas and located the bodies of victims.<\/p>\n
