Mabuyane visited the area where he told residents that the process of assisting them in their plight is being speeded up.

He has committed to building houses for displaced residents.

“We are really working hard to ensure we mitigate this disaster on our people and make sure our people still have a life that is not really dehumanising even if they find themselves in the space that they are in.

We are going to be building houses for the victims here, we are going to be removing people on those flooding areas.”
