MISA comment - Pray for Limpopo and Mpumalanga

 

MISA, the Motor Industry Staff Association, would like to extend our sincere condolences to the loved ones of the 38 people who lost their lives due to floods in Mpumalanga and Limpopo province. Government declared a state of national disaster after severe weather, disruption and flooding affected the two provinces.

 

The Union’s thoughts and prayers are with the families and loved ones who are distraught, stranded and homeless. “MISA is grateful to the immediate response of declaring it a national disaster after lives were lost and severely impacted. People in those areas should refrain from passing low lying bridges,” says Martlé Keyter – Chief Executive Officer: Operations.

 

Thank you to the search and rescue teams endangering their lives, working against time, to try and rescue as many as possible. James Reeler, Senior Climate Specialist at the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) warns that these extreme weather events are no longer isolated incidents; they are indicators of a rapidly warming planet.
