The recent devastating floods in parts of KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape are the “worst we have seen in living memory”, Cogta minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma said on Tuesday.

The floods have left a trail of destruction, claiming more than 400 lives and destroying more than 4,000 homes, schools and critical infrastructure. President Cyril Ramaphosa initially declared a provincial state of disaster in KwaZulu-Natal. On Monday, he announced the reclassification to a national state of disaster.

“The impact of these floods are well beyond the province and so it became very important that the national government comes on board. The reclassification from a provincial to a national disaster was then followed by the declaration of the state of the nation disaster. Dlamini-Zuma said the reclassification was an indication of the government’s commitment to implement recovery and reconstruction plans in a holistic manner as all spheres would be working together. The minister said this had been a season of darkness and winter of despair.

All hands on deck, says Dlamini-Zuma after SA’s 'worst' floodsThe recent devastating floods in parts of KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape are the “worst we have seen in living memory”, Cogta minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma said on Tuesday. Ja, I haven't heard a cent coming the Eastern Cape way though, who's looking after us. The worst we have seen in living memory is the looting of public funds by the MYANC and their comrades Oh and when half of Margate beach was whipped out? Uvongo beach in the 90s? I can remember a lot of floods in the last 33 years so NDZ needs to go check that 'living memory'. She just wants to keep power.
