Minister and Deputy Minister of the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure to conduct oversight visit to inspect DPWI flood intervention work in KwaZulu Natal

As part of government’s response to the devastating floods in the KwaZulu Natal province, Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure (DPWI), Patricia de Lille and Deputy Minister, Noxolo Kiviet will be visiting various sites to inspect the repairs work undertaken by the DPWI to state-owned properties.

The oversight progress visit follows the Minister and Deputy Minister’s visit in April this year following the devastating flooding in the province.

One of the main State-owned properties that was severely damaged during the flooding was the Durban Airforce Base. The department has completed all the repairs work at the base and Minister de Lille and Deputy Minister Kiviet will inspect the work done at the site.

Following the visit to the Air Force Base, the Minister and the Deputy Minister will then visit two sites in Inanda and Ndwedwe where new bridges will be installed in communities as part of the existing Welisizwe Rural Bridges programme in the province.
