KZN floods

THE parliamentary portfolio committee on transport chairperson Mosebenzi Zwane has called for the immediate intervention by all spheres of government on dealing with the infrastructure challenges caused by heavy rains in KwaZulu-Natal.

Zwane’s call comes amid viral videos and photographs on social media of major transportation routes that were damaged by persistent rainfall and flooding.

Zwane said it was important for the provincial and national governments to immediately intervene and ensure that poor people did not suffer due to damaged roads and houses, as these weather conditions were set to persist for a long time.

Sanral said some sections of the N3 highway were partially closed due to the upgrades and the floods had exacerbated the situation on the network. | IOL
