In response to government's declaration of a national disaster following torrential rains, widespread flooding and wildfires in parts of the country, industry organisation Consulting Engineers South Africa (Cesa) CEO Chris Campbell says its members have the specialised engineering expertise to support recovery and rebuilding efforts, working in partnership with government and relevant stakeholders through appropriate and established processes. The severe weather in recent weeks has claimed at least 30 lives, primarily in the Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces.
