24. The local municipality must lift the state of emergency as soon as the conditions set out in the first paragraph of section 19 are no longer met. If the municipality fails to do so, the Minister may lift the state of emergency. To that end, the Minister may require the municipality to send the Minister any document or information the Minister considers necessary.
Notice of the end of the state of emergency must be given promptly to the Minister or to the local municipality, as applicable, and to the regional municipality, and must be published and disseminated by the most efficient means available to ensure that the population of the territory concerned is rapidly informed.
