The 2025 South Africa floods occurred in June 2025 and were caused by torrential rain, heavy winds, and snow that swept through Cape Town, South Africa, causing dozens of deaths and displacing thousands.[1] A powerful cold front had swept through Cape Town and neighboring provinces beginning 10 June 2025.[2] The storm caused rivers to burst their banks producing floodwaters of up to 3-4 meters (10–13 ft) deep around Mthatha, leading to homes, vehicles, buses, and individuals caught off guard to be swept away.[2]
