Eastern Cape Government Departments have convened in KuGompo City, to develop contingency plans ahead of the anticipated El Niño-induced heatwave and disasters, which could occur due to the heightened heat. The departments are concerned about the worsening of drought conditions in historically dry areas, and the risk of disease outbreaks due to the severe heat. 
The heightened hot weather conditions will be hitting the country for the first time since the 1950's and stakeholders in the province believe they have identified key areas most likely to be affected in the province, as a means to deal with the heatwave. Sidima Mfeku reports.
