Mabuyane said remarkable support had also been received from the Gift of the Givers, the Al-Imdaad Foundation, the Ubuntu Foundation and the business community in general. Preliminary findings indicate the estimated cost of the damage to be R166 million for education facilities, while about R30 million will be required to fix electricity infrastructure such as poles and lines.Rantjie said that according to reports received, interventions would be required to provide humanitarian relief, repair damaged houses, repair public infrastructure such as roads, schools and health facilities, and provide agricultural relief related to infrastructure and livestock.
