Voters not deterred by eThekwini heavy rain
Heavy rain in eThekwini has not deterred eligible voters from casting their special votes.
The process started smoothly in Durban on Monday morning, despite the South African Weather Service (SAWS) issuing a Yellow Level 4 warning for heavy downpours and hail over most parts of KwaZulu-Natal.
