#KZNFloods: DA calls for an end to dodgy housing contracts and emergency funding to fix destroyed houses
13 April 2022
Note to Editors: Please find an attached soundbite by Emma Powell MP
The DA extends our sincerest condolences to the families who have lost loved ones amidst the recent KwaZulu-Natal floods.
We also extend our most heartfelt sympathies to the residents of the reported 4000 informal dwellings and 2000 BNG (RDP) houses that have been destroyed over the course of the past week.
The damage caused to these BNG homes is a direct reflection of the incapacity of the dodgy contractors appointed to build these homes by the ANC-run Municipality, year after year. The DA has long called on eThekwini to ensure that capable contractors are hired to build structurally sound dwellings for the most vulnerable in our community. Despite repeated warnings, the ANC continues to put their cronies first.
