Over the past week, parts of Malawi, Mozambique and Zimbabwe have been affected by the tropical cyclone from the Indian Ocean that has left a trail of destruction while claiming several lives in its wake.
Sisulu on Monday appealed to South Africa’s non-governmental organisations, companies and individuals to make donations towards humanitarian aid for the affected countries.
According to reports, at least 100 people have lost their lives as a result of floods that have left 400,000 displaced and in urgent need of shelter, food and other amenities.
“We have directed all our embassies and diplomats to continue to work with the three countries to assess the damage.
“We have this afternoon received reports from our missions and our teams on the ground who are working with the local authorities. What is urgent now is the provision of humanitarian aid,” Sisulu said.
