#southafrica: *SOUTH AFRICA MOURNS OVER 90 FLOOD VICTIMS*
South Africa's Eastern Cape Province on Thursday mourned 92 victims of floods that battered the region last week and displaced thousands.
Thousands of houses, roads, schools and health facilities were left caked in mud after being submerged. More than 4,300 people were left homeless according to the government,
President Cyril Rampahosa said the "unprecedented" and "catastrophic disaster" was due to climate change.
The Eastern Cape government said 31 of the 92 dead were children and asked people in the province to observe a minute's silence at 11:00 am (0900 GMT).
