NEC subcommittee chairperson on governance, Thembi Nkadimeng dismissed claims suggesting municipalities were not financially equipped to handle disasters, saying they were just not planning ahead to prepare for mishaps.
JOHANNESBURG - The African National Congress's National Executive Committee raised concerns over the poor response to natural disasters by municipalities.
The NEC's subcommittee chairperson on governance, Thembi Nkadimeng made the statement during a media briefing in Boksburg on Sunday. She dismissed claims suggesting municipalities were not financially equipped to handle disasters, saying they were just not planning ahead to prepare for mishaps. "For example, the April floods which we had in KwaZulu-Natal, if I'm not wrong, Cogta has already dispersed about R1,2 billion. But the last time I visited eThekwini to specifically deal with disasters, I found that their planning was very low."
