Deluge wreaks havoc in Mahalapye

MAHALAPYE: Residents of Mahalapye village in the Central District are still reeling in pain and misery after their houses were destroyed in a fierce storm on Saturday night.

When a Mmegi team toured the village, it was evident along the streets that disaster had struck in as in almost every homestead, families were busy trying to put things back to normal. Others were pulling away huge broken trees that had now become hindrances, while others were sitting hopelessly without money to replace window panes. Water that had collected in some homesteads was still there by Monday morning when the Mmegi team from Selebi-Phikwe toured the village.

Construction was ongoing in various homes that had managed to secure materials for repairing their destroyed property. Shops and other industrial entities were not spared from the disaster.
