Ramaphosa: Oversight structure to ensure allocated funds used for KZN flood relief aid
JOHANNESBURG - President Cyril Ramaphosa said that government was setting up an oversight structure to ensure that all funds allocated to the KwaZulu-Natal flood disaster were actually used for that.
Many have already taken to social media warning that the recent devastating floods would be an opportunity for some to loot."We're drawing together various stakeholders to be part of an oversight structure to ensure that all funds disbursed to respond to this disaster are properly accounted for and that the state receives value for money.
"First, we will focus on the immediate humanitarian relief, ensuring that all affected persons are safe and that all their basic needs are met. Second, we will focus on stabilisation and recovery, rehousing people who have lost homes and restoring provision of services. Thirdly, we will focus on reconstruction and rebuilding," the president said.
