The bridge that connected KwaNobuhle to schools in Nelson Mandela Bay has collapsed due to recent floods in the Eastern Cape. This collapse has left schoolchildren with a daunting 6km walk to reach their classes. The bridge, once spanning a significant ditch that occasionally saw river flow, succumbed to the floods that devastated homes, vehicles, and educational institutions across the region. Tragically, eleven individuals have lost their lives in Nelson Mandela Bay, with two more missing after being swept away by the Swartkops River in Kariega. The aftermath includes sewage water flowing downhill from the debris. As South Africans look toward building a prosperous future, staying informed is pivotal.
