Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
With heavy rains and flooding in Eastern Cape and indications from the South African Weather Service that North West & Free State may also be affected by bad weather, it is clear that there are other areas of the country that need emergency intervention. https://t.co/Tta75bAWX5 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
The significance of the Port of Durban and related infrastructure for the effective operation of the country’s economy means that this disaster has implications far beyond the province of KwaZulu-Natal. https://t.co/Tta75bAWX5 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
However, given the extent and impact of the floods, the designation of a provincial state of disaster is inadequate to deal with the scale of the emergency and the required reconstruction and rehabilitation measures and responses. https://t.co/Tta75bAWX5 — PolitiTweet.org
