Johannesburg, South Africa: Flooding triggered by torrential rains in northeastern South Africa claimed at least 10 lives overnight and forced the closure of the iconic Kruger National Park, officials said Thursday.
The weather service issued the maximum warning for more rain in parts of the country while neighbouring Mozambique was also on alert after flooding that inundated roads and homes.
Nine people died in a village in South Africa's Limpopo province near Kruger, a provincial spokesperson told AFP.
Nearly 200 people have been rescued, he said.
Images released by South Africa's National Defence Force showed a military helicopter airlifting stranded residents from trees.
