President Cyril Ramaphosa will address the nation at 20:00 on the government’s response to catastrophic floods which have devastated parts of KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape.
The address follows a special Cabinet meeting on Sunday where government assessed the social and economic aftermath of flooding in the two provinces and the work under way to provide relief and rebuild.
Ramaphosa visited the eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality on Wednesday where he received an update incorporating the responses of local, provincial and national authorities to the provincial disaster.
He has since the start of the emergency undertaken consultations with the National Disaster Management Centre and the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Disaster Management.
Ramaphosa postponed a working visit to Saudi Arabia to attend to the impact of severe weather events that have since affected the Eastern Cape as well.
