Kumba, Cameroon — During a visit to areas hit by the 5th August, 2026 flood in Kumba,  SDF officials led by the District chairman of the Kumba III electoral District Bigda Um Rufus stated that the flood was eminent, because of councils have failed to implement proper waste management system, they have also failed to create a proper drainage system in the city of Kumba.

The officials also stated that as social Democrats, they  will always support victims of such disasters depending on needs and means.

The visit was carried out on Thursday August 6, a day after the disastrous floods hit parts of Kumba, due to overflooding of the popular "Kumba water".
