Western Cape Floods | Heavy rains cut off Garden Route roads: 25 communities affected

Heavy rains in the Garden Route have cut off several roads and left parts of the region isolated, as aid groups work to assess the damage and deliver essential supplies.

Concerns remain high as rivers continue to swell and dams spill over.

At least one person has died after being swept away while attempting to cross a flooded river.

In a separate incident, another body was recovered after a similar attempt to cross rising waters.
