Mayiwane – Honourable Khunga Nkhosi, MP for Mayiwane, has called on residents to exercise extreme caution as heavy rains continue to batter the country, causing widespread damage to roads, bridges, homes, and livelihoods.

Nkhosi said the situation is not limited to Mayiwane, with many regions facing similar challenges.
