Question NW1979 to the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs
28 June 2023 - NW1979
Ceza, Mr K to ask the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs
In light of the recent rains which have severely affected communities in Gqeberha, what urgent support measures has the Municipal Infrastructure Support Agent put in place to refurbish the (a) drainage infrastructure planning, (b) expansion and (c) maintenance in the Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan Municipality?
Reply:
The Municipal Infrastructure Support Agent (MISA) did not provide any urgent support measures to Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan Municipality (NMBMM) as the NMBMM’s Disaster Management Center and Emergency Teams had technical capacity to attend to the floods. MISA remains available to augment and provide support to NMBMM as and when needed, the same way MISA does not low and medium capacity municipalities.
End.
