Humanitarian relief provided to combat aftermath of Western Cape floods, but more rainfall expected

Sassa said it had provided social relief to 13 074 flood victims.

A state of disaster was declared in the Western Cape.

The City of Cape Town said its human settlements directorate had given more than 16 000 flood kits to dwellings in informal settlements and other types of housing.

More than 37 areas across the metro, including Khayelitsha, Lwandle, Nomzamo, Gugulethu, Masiphumelele, Macassar, Sir Lowry's Pass, Mfuleni, Tafelsig, Vygieskraal and Ocean View were impacted by floods that battered the province earlier this month.

Mayco member for human settlements, Carl Pophaim, said assessments were ongoing and assistance was offered to those impacted by the storms because more rain was expected over the weekend.
