AU donates $150,000 for South Africa flood victims

The African Union (AU) has donated $150,000 (£115,000) towards relief efforts following the devastating floods in South Africa's KwaZulu-Natal province.

More than 440 people died in the floods which swept through the province last week.

The floods also caused massive damage to infrastructure

Announcing the donation, AU commission chairman Moussa Faki Mahamat said the body reaffirmed its support with South Africa during "this difficult time".
