Calls to declare Northern Cape a drought disaster area intensifying

Calls for Northern Cape Premier, Dr Zamani Saul to declare the province a drought disaster area, are intensifying.

DA leader Mmusi Maimane says this issue needs to be addressed to ensure that no job losses are incurred. It’s considered the worst drought in a century – five years of below average rainfall in large parts of the province has farmers on their knees. Almost 6 million hectares of grazing land are affected.Three of the five municipal districts are officially disaster areas. The agriculture sector says the entire province needs to be declared a disaster area so that much-needed funds can be released by the national government.
