Municipality spokeswoman Thipa Selala told TimesLIVE that some 44 families had arrived at the hall for assistance Wednesday night. A line began to form in the hallway Thursday as more people arrived to register for a temporary shelter.
The municipality has yet to count the number of affected residents.
The MEC for cooperative governance, human settlements and traditional affairs and the mayor met Thursday to discuss how assistance would be provided to those affected by the storm.
“We have not been informed of any injuries so far, but several car accidents have been reported due to the storm,” Selala said.
He said electricians were still trying to restore power to Luthuli Park.
“Our traffic officers are also on the roads trying to clear them,” he added.
The South African Meteorological Service said Polokwane was expected to be partly cloudy with scattered showers and thunderstorms Thursday with a maximum temperature of 25 ° C.
