At least 45 people have been killed after intensely heavy rainfall in South Africa.

Officials said homes have been ravaged and roads swept away in Durban, a coastal city in the east of the country, on Tuesday.

The provincial government in KwaZulu-Natal province, which confirmed the number of dead, said the toll could rise further.

Heavy rain was expected to continue until evening in the coastal parts of the province.

Disaster management teams were evacuating people in areas hit by mudslides and where buildings had collapsed, officials said.

Several homes were washed away and several roads caved in, which affected transportation and rescue operations.

People carried some salvaged possessions to safer places as muddy waters gushed across streets.
