KwaZulu-Natal MEC for co-operative governance and
traditional affairs Nomsa Dube called on the national department of science
and technology to investigate the causes of lightning after seven people died
in lightning strikes.
"We will do an investigation and talk to the department of science and
technology on what is the cause of the lightning, and if it only happened to the previously disadvantaged as I have
never seen any white people being struck by lightning." said
Dube. She was visiting Mpumazi in Eshowe where seven people from two families
died after being struck by lightning on Sunday. "Scientists from
the department could perhaps help us and come up with instruments that could
help community members protect themselves against lightning. "The department
has dealt with floods and fires, but lightning was new to us," said
Dube.
