Prabitha Ramlukan's home now.
For 59-year-old retired bakery supervisor Prabitha Ramlukan, of Sandfields Road, the two-year anniversary of the tornado that ripped through Tongaat is a painful reminder of both personal loss and resilience.
Other than her home being extensively damaged, the tornado claimed the life of her nephew, Arvin Ramluckan, a 37-year-old boilermaker.
"My nephew and his friend were returning from work when they heard a loud noise. They saw what appeared to be a massive wall of white smoke approaching.
"They could not run because the wind was strong. His friend managed to get under a car, but Arvin was pushed by the wind. A wall from a nearby property collapsed on him," she said.
