KZN launches citizen education drive
Story 3
The KwaZulu-Natal government has launched its citizen education drive to raise awareness on climate change in the province.
The campaign will focus on ideas to curb weather-related disasters in the province.
For years, KwaZulu-Natal has experienced devastating floods as a result of heavy rains.
This has damaged public infrastructure, including roads, bridges, schools, and people’s homes, amounting to billions of rands in damage costs.
Authorities are hoping an education drive will help prepare KZN residents to avoid fatal incidents in the future.
