More than 6,000 people have been displaced and 41 known to have been killed due to the floods.[1][3] This number is expected to rise as police continue to search for an unknown number of missing persons.[4] Eight of the country's nine provinces have been declared disaster areas, allowing for federal funds to be distributed.[1][2] Preliminary estimates placed crop damage at 1 billion rand ($145 million USD).[5] Property damage was also estimated at $52 million.[1] An estimated 20,000 hectares (49,200 acres) of agricultural land has been affected by the floods.[6]
The South African Air Force was brought in to aid in evacuating residents through air lifts by January 15.[4] In a statement Co-operative Government Minister Sicelo Shiceka, displaced residents were told not to go back to their homes.[1]
