The recent floods that hit parts of KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape have prompted the ANC to propose that a parliamentary ad hoc committee on building climate change resilience be established. | City_Press

The party’s drafting committee for policy and national conference will be ensuring that the issue is integrated into its discussion papers.

“The real cost of the current disaster is still being calculated, coming so soon after another flood disaster in 2019. It is clear that these extreme weather conditions are affecting our country more frequently, highlighting the need for urgent attention to building climate change resilience and mitigation as central to our strategy of a better life for all,” the report reads.

The document also reflected on the Western Cape fires that destroyed over 300 shacks in Langa, displacing over 1 300 people. Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment Barbara Creecy said there were many other ways in which government was seeking to mitigate climate change and made particular mention of the way it was affecting poor communities in the country.

It also provides for the establishment of the Presidential Climate Commission, where different sectors of society – organised labour, civil society, business and government ministers – will advise on the country’s climate change response.

Comrades have just figured out ukuthi wait there is a way we can make this climate thing pay. Funds allocated here will provide a new sources of looting income

I'm yet to witness a properly thought out AND policy. I'm not holding my breath for brilliance here!

As usual the climate change committee will be a gathering of unskilled incompetent anc caders and will add no value to climate change.

But how does one develop on that sand? Who authorised this? Was the area given a thumbs up in as far as zoning is concerned? Which engineers were consulted?

Oooh! That should do it. Nothing like a committee of ignoramuses applying themselves to a complex problem.

Another committee is just another feeding troth for anc caders

I'm really grateful for all the efforts you have render to me with my little investment of R10,000 and with joy over me after withdrawing R100,000 with your help Williamchurch07 thank you for everything you have done for me and my family Williamchurch07

ANC should build a commitee that sees to it that the ANC do their maintenance at all times to prevent such flooding

The ANC can’t even build a toilet at a school…..

What hit KZN was GEO Technology. Ramaphosa allowed Illuminati to manipulate the weather and cause destruction and death

City_Press Only so they can have access to the money for these climate change rebuild

more corruption on the horizon

City_Press Another ad hoc? How many do you have now? Oh silly me, it’s about spending

More MYANC committees so that less can happen.

I never believed bitcoin was real until I was introduced into by julianna_wallet I started with R15,000 now I'm making R67,456.67 every week I'm really grateful 🙏🙏

Being the head of the home isn't easy, you are expected to provide for the home, I lost my job during the pandemic and relied on the little money I had,things were hard until I met Williamchurch07 and started Bitcoin trading, I earned R500,000 in 3 weeks thanks Williamchurch07

City_Press Of course they would blame climate change and not the incompetence of the corrupt parties running the provinces and not maintaining infrastructure

City_Press How much for the committee?
