Partnership to Provide Relief to Flood Victims

Government has set up a task team with the private sector and civil society to provide immediate relief to people who have been affected by floods.

Social Development Minister, Bathabile Dlamini, said the primary function of the task team is to coordinate humanitarian assistance and to provide an opportunity for social partners to, through their projects, respond to the immediate emergency priority needs while at the same time laying the foundation for early and eventual long term recovery of the affected communities.

Speaking to the media after meeting with business and NGOs in Pretoria, Dlamini, also said the task team will also look at setting up a special fund through which aid can be channelled to those in need.
