A total amount of R753 million is allocated to enable provinces to deal with recent flood damage to infrastructure. This includes allocations for agriculture (R149.5 million); housing (R180 million); education (R180 million); transport (R240 million) and health (R2.6 million). The FFC felt that these amounts may not be adequate given the frequency of natural disasters. However, they welcomed Schedule 9 of the Division of Revenue Amendment Bill which facilitates the faster release of disaster conditional grants to affected areas.
