The City of Cape Town is expecting an increase of flooding this winter, especially in newly formed informal settlements.
The City of Cape Town says it is expecting an increase of flooding incidents this winter, especially at newly formed informal settlements.
The City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Human Settlements, Councillor Malusi Booi, said there has been an increase in informal settlements due to Covid-19 and lockdown.
“As with most cities in South Africa, informality is a pronounced feature due to increased urbanisation, which has been made worse by the socio-economic impacts of Covid-19 and the lockdown,” said Booi.
