Ramaphosa\u2019s reassurance follows several catastrophes in parts of the country that have claimed many lives and caused damage to infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Heavy rains and flooding recently battered some communities in the Eastern Cape and the Western Cape.<\/p>\n

Ramaphosa made his way to the Eastern Cape on Friday, to assess the impact of the recent flooding in the province.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a natural disaster department that must always be ready to respond. They work with other departments: the Department of Human Settlement, the Department of Roads, Social Welfare as well. They work together to deal with the disasters like the one you are having here. Now the government is preparing to come and help everyone here.\u201d<\/p>\n
