Deputy Speaker, although the FD supports this Budget Vote we are still very concerned about disaster management throughout the country. Much has been done, hon Minister, but I think more pressure ought to be placed on local municipal authorities to respond timeously.
In the Western Cape, for instance, we are entering our winter and when we notice the number of people living in informal settlements then we must say that they often get too little help too late. Somehow there must be some kind of pressure that Minister and the national department can place on local authorities to ensure that they respond timeously. I thank you.
