The OR Tambo district municipality has opened a state-of-the-art R79m disaster management centre in Libode to improve official emergency response times across the flood-prone region.
Heavy rains have battered the OR Tambo district in the Eastern Cape, resulting in one death, two injuries, and severe damage to roads, bridges, and power infrastructure.
Heavy rains have cut off access to towns such as Mqanduli and disrupted services across the Eastern Cape's OR Tambo District, leaving communities isolated as disaster teams assess the damage.
The Eastern Cape agriculture department is investing R7m in a mega piggery in Ncise village near Mthatha to produce at least 1,000 pigs annually and boost local meat processing capacity.
