Following widespread floods, two provinces can now ask for millions to repair infrastructure.
The National Disaster Management Centre has declared the September floods as a National Disaster for the Western and Eastern Cape.
Bredell added that the disaster classification allows the provincial government to approach the National Disaster Management Centre for relief funds to repair damage to infrastructure, including buildings, roads, bridges and water networks. “We will now request the National Disaster Management Centre to approach National Treasury with these numbers. There is no certainty on how much or when we will receive any support from the national government. The provincial government will reprioritise existing budgets and continue with our own recovery efforts as best we can,” Bredell said.
