Nine people from a group performing religious ritual lost their lives as the Jukskei River which overflowed due to heavy rain in the city of Johannesburg, South Africa. There are also 15 people went missing.
The Johannesburg Emergency Management Services Spokesperson stated that the missing casualties may have left the area due to the storm.
A flood in the shallow river in November 2016 drowned hundreds of makeshift houses in the city of Alexandria.
