Hail damage is more widespread than expected, with hundreds if not thousands of houses damaged in the storm last night.
The path of the storm stretched from Colenso all the way to Modelkloof.
Some houses have been totally destroyed.
"At this time, there are no reports of serious injuries. Rumours that six children were killed in the storm are just that," said JOC (Joint Operations Committee) spokesperson Mr Mkhize.
The JOC will be sending out teams to assess damage and provide free assistance with emergency repairs where it is feasible.
