Description: Extreme weather events in 2022. In what has been called the worst flood on record in South Africa, 443 have lost their lives with scores still missing in KwaZulu-Natal, and the enormous damage to infrastructure in Durban and its surrounds has been costed out at billions of rands. The disaster has been attributed to the effects of climate change and comes with a warning that such an event is likely to occur in the future with increasing frequency. Massive amounts of plastic pollution and debris ended up on Duban's beaches.
