Public Works and Infrastructure Minister Patricia de Lille says her department will make state-owned land in KwaZulu-Natal available to house communities destitute by floods that left hundreds of people homeless.
Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure Patricia de Lille visited KwaZulu-Natal on Tuesday. Rural communities in the province would also see bridges built or repaired within the coming weeks, according to De Lille.
De Lille and government deployees visited areas in KwaZulu-Natal impacted by flood damage. The tally so far showed floods had damaged 50 state-owned buildings. State-owned buildings were not the only damage inspected by the minister as she visited rural communities that had to contend with having no bridges or damaged bridges to cross river streams.According to an agreement between the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure and the Department of Transport in KwaZulu-Natal, De Lille said 18 bridges would be built within the 2022-2023 financial year.
