Over the last few days, Ladysmith and the surrounding areas have experienced disruptive downpours which resulted in the Klipriver bursting its banks and flooding the center of town.
Ladysmith K9 Search And Rescue Unit responded to several calls for assistance in the low-lying areas along the Klipriver.
Pietermaritzburg Search And Rescue members were also called to assist and evacuate stranded community members throughout the evening until late afternoon yesterday.
