Killer floods near the Kruger


 Six people have died after the Limpopo river burst its banks.

A total of 44 people were rescued at the Mapungubwe Main Gate next to the Kruger National Park after several days of heavy rain.

Residents were stranded when they sought refuge on rooftops and mountains and more than 300 locals were evacuated.

Gravel roads and some camps inside the Kruger National Park remained closed on Monday because of heavy rains.

The SANDF said 60 people were airlifted to safety in the Makhado and Hoedspruit areas.
