The collapse was triggered by the heavy rains that lashed the Winterveldt area, north of Pretoria this past weekend.
The incident occurred last night as another rainstorm lashed Gauteng. Spokesman for the Tshwane metro council William Baloyi said that in fifteen shacks were flooded in a Mamemlodi squatter camp also yesterday.
Another five houses were flooded in Mabopane, in Sohsnaguve. No injuries or fatalties were sustained in the incidents.
The shack dwellers have been given temporary accommodation in a local community hall.
The heavy rains caused also several roads in the Pretoria to be temporarily closed.
