The ad hoc joint committee on flood disaster relief and recovery says it is not pleased with the unresponsiveness of the City of Tshwane towards flood victims.
On Monday the committee conducted an oversight visit to the city to assess the extent to which the government has provided assistance towards flood disaster relief and recovery in Gauteng after the damage caused by the floods from December 2022 to February 2023.
After the briefings, the committee said it conducted an oversight visit to a flood risk settlement and to the Nellmapius Community Hall in Mamelodi, one of the shelters used to accommodate flood victims. According to the committee, there is a general unresponsiveness from the parties responsible for the provision of relief assistance required by flood victims.
The committee said victims are living in inhumane conditions in shelters where ablution facilities are not working, they have no access to water and sanitation and the responsible government departments in local, provincial and national spheres of government should provide assistance.
