Senior government officials are expected to visit the Harry Gwala District Municipality on Saturday after the area was severely affected by thunderstorms.
More than 300 shacks were destroyed on Christmas Eve.
Officials will visit the uMzimkhulu, Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, and Ubuhlebezwe local municipalities, which were most affected.
Officials are expected to handover interim relief to families affected by the severe storms on Christmas Eve.
Cooperative Governance spokesperson Senzelwe Mzila said: “The much-needed relief will include food and blankets. Some of them lost crucial documents, like IDs, so the departments will ensure that these documents are reissued to them.”
Mzila said the government mobilized support from non-profit organizations and private donors to assist victims in the area.
Other areas that have been recently affected by the bad weather conditions in the province include Ulundi, Msinga, and Ndwedwe.
