DUE to the magnitude of the economic and human damage caused by the recent civil unrest, the provincial government has since declared a provincial State of Disaster.
As such, the Executive Council recommended to submit for classification to the national disaster management centre in terms of section 23 of the Disaster Management Act. The declaration of a provincial State of Disaster will support the reprioritisation of budgets to implement the repairs and recovery programmes,” it said.
On top of the economic damage to the province, lives were lost as over 150 people were declared dead, either during violent looting or as a result of vigilante groups taking the law into their own hands. It is also working on peace and economic uplifting programmes, and their work would be in conjunction with the Durban-based African Centre for the Constructive Resolution of Disputes .
