People in the South African city of Cape Town assess damage to their homes, attempt to clear away excess water and queue up for food after their communities were left flooded following heavy rain and gale-force winds. "The water is coming in, and not on top just under. So I must ask children to help me to get the water out of the house," says Sonneta Kupido, a pensioner and resident of the major township of Khayelitsha, one of the settlements particularly affected by the flooding.
