Budget cuts delay critical disaster management initiatives in KwaZulu-Natal
Several KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Disaster Management Centre (PDMC) projects, including the integration of video systems, were put on hold because of budget constraints. Image: KZN Legislature-Website Several KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Disaster Management Centre (PDMC) projects, including the integration of video systems, were put on hold because of budget constraints. The PDMC, in collaboration with the eThekwini Municipality and South African National Roads Agency SOC Ltd (SANRAL), is aiming to implement live video and surveillance cameras to enable real-time monitoring and reporting of disaster-related incidents. This initiative is not a standalone project, but rather it will be integrated with the Command and Control Collaborator (CMORE) software communication system as part of a broader information management and communication system. These setbacks were detailed when the KZN Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (CoGTA) Portfolio Committee was briefed on PDMC matters on Friday. These PDMC setbacks could be implemented in the 2026/27 and the 2027/28 financial years, including the acquisition of rescue equipment (e.g., snow chains) and specialised disaster response training. In response to ongoing fiscal constraints, CoGTA was instructed by the Provincial Treasury to implement cost-cutting measures. Despite these constraints, a R2 million allocation has been made for the 2025/26 financial year to support the maintenance of integrated communication systems. This includes maintenance of boardroom audio-visual equipment and support for CMORE. The meeting also gave progress on the current status of post-disaster management grants funded by the National Disaster Management Centre (NDMC), including utilisation, challenges, and impact on recovery and resilience efforts in affected communities. The NDMC made R4.1 billion in grant funding available in the form of disaster response and recovery grants to the affected municipalities between 2019 and 2025. Dr Joey Krishnan, acting HOD of CoGTA, said that KZN did not have sufficient resources to manage disasters in the province, so they have engaged in many Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with various social partners. Krishnan said the social partners assist CoGTA with various types of support, relief material, food, blankets, as well as specialised training, and they come to the front when there are disasters. She said the collaboration was aimed at enhancing disaster management operations across the province. She said that the cooperation agreements signed on February 20, 2025, have significantly strengthened the KZN PDMC's capacity across all phases of disaster management. Marlaine Nair, CoGTA Portfolio Committee chairperson, said that the MoU between SANRAL, the South African Weather Services, and eThekwini to put cameras at strategic points so that the provincial DMC could monitor disasters and provide early warnings was not signed because it requires a significant budget that is not available. In addition, she said, the CMORE system that the department has piloted requires municipalities to purchase their smartphones, software, and data to be able to use. 'Currently, municipalities are budgeting the least amount for disaster management because of competing priorities. The Department of CoGTA must find an additional budget to be able to do much more in the province in terms of preparation for disaster preparedness and prevention,' she said. Tim Brauteseth, DA MPL, was concerned that after the April 2022 floods, an amount was allocated to eThekwini for expenditure on restoring infrastructure, but only a small amount of it had been spent to improve things. In response to Brauteseth, Krishnan said R861 million that was allocated to the eThekwini metro was returned to the national fiscus. 'We are aware of it and we have engaged eThekwini to provide details and reports in that regard. We have not received a detailed report in that sense, but in any event, they will have to make further applications now to the National Treasury, and we have indicated that we will support any application they make,' she said.

Decay, refurbishments prompt move uptown for National Treasury
Finance minister Enoch Godongwana says the National Treasury can expect to save millions in its relocation from two buildings in the Pretoria CBD being vacated due to decay in one and refurbishments in the other. This emerged in a written reply by Godongwana to a parliamentary question by EFF MP Nothando Nolutshungu, who asked whether the Treasury had decided to permanently move from the two CBD buildings. 'The National Treasury has decided to vacate the building at 240 Madiba Street, Pretoria, due to significant building decay and infrastructural challenges, which pose serious health and safety risks for staff and operations,' Godongwana said. 'However, 40 Church Square has not been vacated. It remains state-owned and forms part of the Treasury's long-term accommodation strategy. The intention is to refurbish and retain it as a heritage finance building, given its historic and strategic value.' The Treasury was finalising the new leased offices and waiting for the signed lease agreement between the prospective landlord and the public works and infrastructure department (DPWI). 'The rental cost under the former lease for 240 Madiba Street was R6,799,376.36 per month. The rental for 40 Church Square is R2,629,209.66 per quarter. Leases are entered into between the DPWI and the prospective landlord and are waiting to be finalised.' The new premises are owned by the Public Investment Corporation and finalising the lease is still under way. A signed lease agreement between the prospective landlord and the DPWI is being awaited. 'An assessment was conducted on the condition and potential refurbishment of 40 Church Square. As a result, the building is to be retained and refurbished, with plans aligned to preserving its heritage status and ensure it remains functional within the Treasury's accommodation portfolio.' While the Treasury acknowledged the long-term fiscal benefits of government ownership of office accommodation, these matters reside with the DPWI, he said.

What do women want in a car? These are the brands and vehicle types that females prefer in SA
Research shows a higher percentage of women are financing cars. Image: Newspress Toyota has overtaken Volkswagen as the most popular vehicle brand for female new vehicle buyers in South Africa, and Suzuki is fast gaining favour. A recent analysis by Lightstone highlighted the five top-selling vehicle brands among women over the last 10 years. Toyota took the top position in 2023 after placing second in 2019, 2021, and 2022, and third between 2016 and 2018. Ford topped the list in 2017, but has since fallen to fourth place, while Suzuki is now in third position, having only entered the top five in 2022. Nissan currently places fifth among female buyers in South Africa. In the overall new vehicle market, men included, Suzuki now holds second place, behind Toyota but with a narrow lead over Volkswagen. The types of vehicles women are buying: 2015 to 2025. Image: Lightstone The Lightstone analysis also shows what vehicle types females prefer, and this is very much in line with the overall market as SUVs and crossovers take top spot with a share of over 50%. These high riders overtook hatchbacks as the most popular body type in 2021, with the latter now having a share of less than 30%. Sedans have also seen a steady decline over the past decade, overtaken even by double cab bakkies in the early 2020s. Double cabs still have a share of less than 10% among female buyers, however, as do compact bakkies and MPVs. Value also plays a key role in purchasing decisions, WesBank's marketing head Lebo Gaoaketse told Hot FM. 'Women, in particular, are looking for value: vehicles that fit their lifestyles, budgets, and expectations for safety and quality.' Furthermore, research carried by WeBuyCars shows that while men are more interested in power and prestige when buying a car, females tend to prioritise affordability and safety. "Women are more likely to choose hatchbacks and SUVs than men, which may indicate that they value practicality, space and safety when choosing a vehicle type," said Rikus Blomerus, chief marketing officer at WeBuyCars. More women are buying cars But regardless of brand and vehicle type preferences, a positive development is that a greater percentage of females are buying vehicles. An analysis of financing trends shows that females now account for 39% of financed car purchases, up from 32% a decade ago. Female buyers have also shown a strong preference for linked interest rate finance options, at 80% in 2025. The average price of a car financed by a woman in 2024 was R440,000, according to Lightstone, up from R250,000 a decade earlier. 'Women in South Africa are catching up to men in financed car purchases and already lead in homeownership, shifts which reflect their growing socio-economic independence,' Lightstone said.
