Thousands have been left destitute after their homes were submerged, with many residents being moved to temporary shelters.

In Mpumalanga alone, assessed damage has exceeded R2 billion, with officials looking to rebuild homes and repair infrastructure.

One of the main areas hit by flooding is South Africa's Kruger National Park, which was closed to the public while the world-renowned park experienced historical floods.
