Western Cape Premier Ebrahim Rasool and MEC for Local Government and housing Richard Dyantyi will assess the damages caused by the fires in the Overberg areas later today. This decision was made after an urgent cabinet meeting held over the weekend.
After the assessment, Rasool will decide whether or not to appeal to President Thabo Mbeki to declare the affected areas a disaster area. Rasool and Dyanty will also hand over new toilet facilities to the beneficiaries in Kleinbegin Bredasdorp. This follows a call made by Dyantyi that the toilet facilities belonging to old and disabled people in the area should be brought closer or attached to their houses. Currently these facilities are situated at about 10- 30 metres away from their houses.
