Cape Town – Should the feared Day Zero hit the city, the Western Cape legislature plans to move its operations to Worcester and send non-essential staff home.
DA chief whip Mark Wiley said plans were already in place and scoping had been done of the Breede River Valley municipality in Worcester for a possible relocation of the legislature.
He was briefing journalists on the DA’s quarterly performance in the legislature.
It has undoubtedly changed many operations in the province and of course had a massive impact on every resident.
We have also mapped out a plan which works in phases.
It will be a response to avert the worst-case scenario.
These plans have been in the working and parties are aware of it,” he said.
Wiley also said the legislature building in Wale Street had been fitted with water-saving devices.
“One of the biggest concerns we had was the potential for the water crisis to curtail our programme, incapacitating us from fulfilling our first quarter duties.
For this reason, quite a number of committee meetings were rescheduled and will take place in the second quarter.
