The minister of Water and Sanitation, Pemmy Majodina has received a preliminary report into what led to the failure of three dams located in Riverlands in the Western Cape.
This follows the failure of three farm dams that breached,
resulting in flooding that caused severe property and infrastructure damage to
the affected area, leading to hundreds of people displaced.
The department said the preliminary report into what led to
the failure of the dams has been finalised and handed over to the Minister on
Monday, following a two-week investigation.
“Upon studying the report, Minister Majodina will make
public the findings thereof in due course,” the department said.
While the Department of Water and Sanitation does not own
the failed dams, it exercises a regulatory function over all the dams in South
Africa.
