"We won't move." That's what some residents affected by floods in Deelpan, North West, are saying.
The provincial government, however, says there are plans to relocate them to a safer place.
Hundreds of families have been left destitute after their homes were flooded. Floods since January have affected thousands of people. One person has died and 2,000 others have been affected. Over 170 families have been left homeless.
Emergency officials say more people may need to be evacuated following downpours on Monday and they are remaining on high alert.
Authorities say a task team has now been assembled to assist affected residents.
