Roads and infrastructure in Northern Cape damaged due to floods
Teams are assessing the damage and working with other departments to provide support.
Recent heavy rainfall in the Northern Cape has caused significant damage to roads and infrastructure, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. The overflow of a road crossing in Kuruman led to temporary closures, prompting motorists to steer clear of flooded routes. The Minister of Roads and Public Works, Bentley Vass, has announced that teams are currently evaluating the extent of the damage and collaborating with other departments to offer necessary assistance.
Vass stated, "Our teams are on the ground conducting assessments of the damages sustained thus far, and we, along with other departments including Corporate Governance, Agriculture, and our own department, are prioritizing support to ensure the safety of our citizens. Our primary concern is our motorists, but we are equally troubled by the situation and will work closely with national departments to secure financial assistance and address the challenges faced by these communities."
