Damage caused by the recent floods in the Southern Cape stands almost at R750 million. The Western Cape Department of Local Government and Housing has presented a full report on the extent of the damage to the Cabinet of the Western Cape.
Severe damage was caused to infrastructure, roads, informal and formal housing, bridges and municipal sewerage works.
The Department says the most affected areas were low-lying, where storm water drainage systems failed to cope with the downpours. A decision to declare the area a disaster will be taken once the final damage figures are verified. - SABC
