Devastation in Mangaung after storm (Earl Coetzee)

Bloemfontein - Several families in Bloemfontein's informal settlements have been left homeless after a storm ripped through Mangaung in the early hours of this morning.


Powerful winds ripped roofs off houses and reduced shacks in townships like Phase 5 and Dinaweng to rubble. 

The Mangaung Metro says the wind also caused serious damage to Centlec electricity supply in many parts of the municipal area, affecting normal distribution of electricity supply.

Resident of Dinaweng, Flip Nkanye, describes seeing his shack falling apart around him.
