The Western Cape has been declared a disaster area following adverse weather conditions in large parts of the province, last week.
The declaration was made on Friday following a meeting
between Premier Alan Winde and the Cooperative Governance and Traditional
Affairs Minister Velenkosini Hlabisa in Cape Town.
COURTESY: X - @NationalCoGTAA follow-up meeting was held on Monday.
‘’I want to thank the minister for meeting with us
[provincial government]. It is amazing how we applied or disaster on Friday and
the very same day we got declaration back and I was able to sign off the
government gazette today [Monday]. Unbelievable in the speed it was dealt with,
and it was a sight visit and the complexity that the number of disasters our province
faces and how we mitigate better in the future. Whether floods or fires, and
various other climate change related, we have to learn from it.
Earlier today, Minister Velenkosini Hlabisa and Deputy Minister Dickson Masemola were briefed on the state of disaster in the Western Cape. 🌧️ #COGTA #Floods #CapeTown pic.twitter.com/RmOC7Jd3Yj
