    Deputy Minister @David_Mahlobo1 reflects on why unity, constitutional values and regional cooperation are vital to South Africa’s future. 🇿🇦 A timely read on migration, opportunity and nation-building. @GovernmentZA @SAgovnews
    Narratives portraying South Africa as xenophobic are troubling. The claims ignore the reality of our daily interactions, our constitutional values and the extensive regional partnerships that underpin our development agenda
    South Africa’s future lies in unity, not isolation

    #KZNFloods | The Department would like to assure people that Shongweni Dam has not collapsed. Two of the ten gates that have fused are designed to fail during extreme floods. This is a safety measure not dam failure. @Senzo_Mchunu_

    We would like to reiterate that Shongweni Dam has not collapsed. The dam is equipped with 10 Hydroplus fuse gates which are designed to "tip" and fail in sequence to avoid catastrophic failure of the entire dam. #KZNFlooding
