JOHANNESBURG – Several municipalities, including the City of Johannesburg and Tshwane, have been experiencing a wide variety of water challenges due to Eskom's load shedding.
“To ensure water security now and into the future, the Department of Water and Sanitation is leading the process of investing in major infrastructure projects across the country,” said Ramaphosa on Thursday night. “The Lesotho Highlands project is critical for ensuring the security of water supply to Gauteng, Free State, Mpumalanga, North West and Northern Cape. Several decades after it was first proposed and nine years after a sod-turning ceremony was held, the first phase of the Umzimvubu Water Project will start in the next financial year.”
Ramaphosa promised to improve the supply of water to the West Coast, eThekwini and the eastern part of Limpopo through major projects on the Clanwilliam Dam, Hazelmere Dam and the Tzaneen Dam.
Blah blah blah.... just more bullshit from phala phala
For the ANC cadres the govt's infrastructure investment just means more looting of tax funds meant to uplift their own poor people.
Resign thanks
State of the nation adress is supposed to be about the current state of the nation compared to previous state. Not promises plans seeks initiatives of the future.
A trifle late for infrastructure development. Does he plan to build a completely new system because the ANC have wrecked a perfectly good system through lack of maintenance and planning of extensions for 30 years. That is all.
Has anyone told him/she/it/zit that the WATER infrastructure needs to be developed, not his OWN FINANCIAL infrastructure?
Same old promises 😴
Huh? Infrastructure development? Is he serious? Only now?
More lies...
20 years too late.
