More than 500 deaths are now feared in South Africa after the severe flooding.
The confirmed death toll rose to 443 by Sunday, according to KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Prime Minister Sihle Zikalala.
64 other people were still missing.
In eastern South Africa, heavy rain had flooded the port city of Durban and its surroundings for days.
The rains have subsided in the meantime, but the search and clean-up work is far from over.
The worst storms in the coastal region around Durban in living memory had started last weekend.
According to meteorologists, more than 450 millimeters of rain fell in KwaZulu-Natal within 48 hours, almost half the average annual rainfall.
The heavy rains triggered severe flooding and landslides, especially in the greater Durban area.
Roads, houses, schools and hospitals were destroyed.
Parts of the city have been without electricity and running water since Monday.
More than 40,000 people have been made homeless by the floods.
