The Mercury

IN A significant move to support flood victims in KwaZulu-Natal, the national and provincial Department of Human Settlements handed over housing units to families who lost their homes during the devastating floods of 2022.

- THOBEKA NGEMA

Human Settlements Minister Thembi Simelane was accompanied by MEC Siboniso Duma and local government leaders.

Simelane urged subsidised government house beneficiaries to value and safeguard their properties for future generations.

During her visit last week, nearly 100 permanent houses were handed over to individuals who lost their homes during the 2022 flood disasters in eThekwini and the uMgungundlovu District Municipality.

"You could see the tears of joy, but also tears of pain. These challenged us to speed up the delivery of houses to those in desperate need," Simelane said.
