DURBAN - The KZN Human Settlements Department is working on relocating flood victims to tribal land.
Traditional leaders from Ingonyama Trust have been consulted on this.
However, flood victims will have to wait until the land has been identified and released.

The predominant number of flood victims are in and around eThekwini Metro.
The government says they have established that there is no space for the victims in urban areas and townships.
Initially, the victims were to be moved to some suburban areas in eThekwini. However, this was challenged by residents of those areas.
The residents argued that the relocation of people into their areas would affect the delivery of services and their livelihoods.
Transport and Human Settlements MEC, Siboniso Duma, says the agreement with traditional leaders will improve the lives of many.
