Political parties presented a united front during the special joint sitting of the National Council of Provinces and the National Assembly as they discussed the government’s response to the devastating floods in KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape.
Responding to President Cyril Ramaphosa’s address, leader of the opposition John Steenhuisen had one advice for Ramaphosa: “Be present and be honest. Let the people there know that you are in charge. Let them know exactly what the plan is and update them about this plan regularly.”
Steenhuisen said the government needed to have a real-time dashboard to share real-time information on dam levels and usage.
