Eastern Cape Premier, Lubabalo Mabuyane, and Buffalo City Executive Mayor, Xola Pakati will embark on a post-flooding damage assessment on Sunday, following the weekend's torrential rains that left scores of houses as well as informal settlements in and around the metro severely damaged.
The heavy rains on Saturday have left scores of residents, mainly in Mdantsane, displaced with roads in some parts completely submerged making access to distressed communities difficult.
The Metro says it is working with the Eastern Cape Department of Human Settlements to render much-needed assistance to those that have been displaced.
Motorists have been urged to avoid crossing flooded roads and bridges.
