A mine dam wall collapse in South Africa's Free State province has swept away houses and cars, killing at least one person and injuring 40
Search and rescue operations at the scene were ongoing, with people in affected areas being evacuated to nearby farms, authorities said.
"Houses, personal belongings and many sheep have been washed away," the Gift of the Givers NGO said on Facebook. "Due to the current situation in the Jagersfontein area and inaccessibility of our substation, it is impossible to estimate when supply will be restored or to determine the extent of the damage," Eskom said.
