SA could be in 'big danger' of further outbreaks of water-borne disease if it doesn’t get the pollution in its river systems under control: Tshwane MMC Peter Sutton.
The Council sitting in Tshwane had to be adjourned after the EFF stormed in with placards complaining about the Hammanskraal water crisis.
EFF regional chairperson Obakeng Ramabodu entered the council carrying a bottle of tap water from Hammanskraal, saying that if the council meeting was to continue, Tshwane Mayor Cilliers Brink and Speaker Mncedi Ndzwanana needed to drink the water first.
Meanwhile, the Tshwane municipality announced during its budget speech by MMC for Finance Peter Sutton that a whopping R450 million had been allocated towards upgrading works at the Rooiwal Waste Water Treatment Plant over a three-year period.
