"We decided to visit the victims and give tents and food parcels to those affected," said MEC Lekganyane. "We have declared Musina a disaster area," he added. One of the victims of the storm, Ms Elisa Mulea, said she saw the walls started to shake and the roof rattle, before the roof sheets were blown off. "All my furniture and other equipment, valued at more than R60 000, were damaged and I do not have any money to replace my belongings," she said. Elisa is now staying with relatives with her two children.
