The Citizen|November 02, 2024
Limpopo premier Dr Phophi Ramathuba has pleaded with President Cyril Ramaphosa to declare Limpopo a disaster area.
Alex Japho Matlala

Ramathuba made this plea during the president and Cabinet's meeting with the Limpopo provincial government's executive council in Polokwane yesterday.

It comes after a vicious storm wreaked havoc in different parts of the province last weekend, sweeping away churches, house roofs, schools, government buildings, electric poles, bulk water pipes and eroding main roads.

Many people were left homeless.

Ramathuba pointed out the irony of the storm hitting while the province was suffering a severe drought.
