The Western Cape Provincial cabinet requested its national counterparts to make a provincial disaster classification for the Western Cape.

MEC of Local Government, Environmental Affairs and Development Planning in the Western Cape Anton Bredel, says the cabinet’s decision was taken on Wednesday.

“We are especially concerned about two areas in the province which would be the West Coast and the Central Karoo district." Spokesperson for Anton Bredell, James Brent Styan said.


"And we just call on people to work with us and to use water sparingly. Especially over the coming summer season which is particularly dry and hot.” He added.
