Simelane says an ongoing process is underway to allocating land where affected residents will rebuild their homes. The death toll now stands at 92. Speaking on the sidelines of a memorial service for flood victims at the King Sabatha Dalindyebo TVET College, in the town of Mthatha, Simelane said some land has been identified.

“We have received a positive report from the Public Works here. I was in the town of Butterworth yesterday. There, the municipality has the municipal land ready to move those who were on the riverbanks into an area,” Simelane said.
