The O.R Tambo District Municipality services more than 1.6 million people mainly in rural areas. Most people live under the poverty line and many have no access to clean water. Roads and electricity are also a challenge in some villages. “We are progressing very well which lead the treasurer releasing and amount of R200 million sometime December which made us be able to cover some tracks in advancing other responsibilities and once again they have since released R89 million which will be specifically going to some capital projects so this means that we are at a position now where we can start moving back to our responsibility of delivering on our capital projects especially that relates to water.
“We started settling in this area in 2013, we do not have roads, we do not have water, the road you see now is much better than the ones in this village, it is because the villagers had to contribute R500 per household to fix it, we cannot drive on it, we do not have access to clean water, we do not have toilets, we are really deserted.”
