“While there is no reported casualty, the damage caused is devastating, especially for the already socially and economically struggling and destitute people of Gauteng.
“While the EFF recognizes that such natural disasters cannot be controlled and at times even predicted, the government must always have standing institutions to quickly intervene to mitigate damages and avoid loss of life,” the red berets saidsaid the Covid-19 pandemic has “proven that the South African Disaster Management plan and infrastructure are incapable of adequately responding to these instances.
“The occurrence of such events should serve to emphasize the need for the government to invest in science, technology and research in seismology and other disciplines in order to detect these disasters before they take occur, and evacuate residents for safety where necessary.” “They also serve to stress the need for the Gauteng government to take serious the urgency to capacitate the Emergency Medical Services such that disaster-like incidents do not lead to casualties as it has been the case before,” the EFF said.
