“I call on all members of the public to ensure that they fully participate in programs that work towards ensuring that communities are protected from disasters and that the risk of disasters are mitigated,” said Cllr. Betty Kgare, Member of Mayoral Committee for Community Services.
Cllr. Kgare was speaking during the International Day for Disaster Reduction main district event held at Ga-Maribane in Polokwane Municipality on 12 October 2021.
