Emergency services said that 29 people were rushed to hospital after the collapse in the coastal province of KwaZulu-Natal.

A local police spokesperson linked the tragedy to heavy rainfall in the area around Empangeni on Thursday night.

Local reports said some people had been sleeping when the brick wall fell.
