MISA has called for urgent support for flood affected communities in the Western Cape as businesses, unions, and relief organisations mobilise aid following deadly storms and widespread destruction.
The Motor Industry Staff Association (MISA) has called for urgent support and compassion for communities devastated by severe flooding and storms in the Western Cape, as humanitarian organisations and major retailers intensify relief efforts across the province.
At least 10 people have lost their lives while tens of thousands of residents have been displaced or severely affected after heavy rainfall and strong winds caused widespread destruction to homes, roads, businesses, and public infrastructure.
Emergency shelters across the province remain under pressure as many families continue to battle flooded homes, damaged property, and disrupted access to essential services.
MISA’s Chief Executive Officer: Operations, Martlé Keyter said the scale of the disaster highlighted South Africa’s growing vulnerability to extreme weather events and the urgent need for improved disaster preparedness and infrastructure management.
