Note to Editors: Please find attached soundbite by Emma Louise Powell MP, as well as photos here, here, here and here.
The DA will be requesting the National Minister for Human Settlements, Mmamoloko Kubayi, to urgently convene a multi-stakeholder housing delegation, led by independent experts, to intervene in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) and ensure that communication systems are put in place, and sustainable response plans are prioritized.
We will also be referring the current living conditions of the flood victims to the South African Human Rights Commission.
This week, the DA conducted an oversight visit to halls in KZN still occupied by victims of the April floods.
