With the recent flood in KZN, homes were destroyed and lives were lost. Beyond the immediate and obvious affects, the wreckage is still being assessed. People are still missing and misplaced, basic need resources are sparse and to put it simply, things are bad. In this episode of Street Talk TV, we discuss how the worst is still to come.

Activists and community members say that much more needs to be done to assist affected communities following the KZN floods.

This film was produced by Street Talk.
