South Africa's worst-ever floods have killed more than 300 people, according to new reports on Wednesday night.

Heavy rains on the east coast devastated thousands of homes, roads and bridges in Durban, a major African port and epicentre of the disaster.

"The death toll from the floods in Kwazulu-Natal (KZN, east) stands at 306," a spokesman for the disaster management office told AFP. A previous report put the death toll at 259.
