Public Service and Administration Deputy Minister, Dr Chana Pilane-Majake engagement with various stakeholders in Hammanskraal, north of Tshwane on Wednesday is expected to develop effective strategies to improve service delivery in the area. \u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The purpose of the stakeholder engagement is to gather<\/span><\/span>\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span>valuable insights and feedback from stakeholders to come with solutions to the day-to-day challenges of residents of Tshwane Region 2.<\/span><\/span>\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Deputy Minister will engage stakeholders on issues relating to the Rooiwal Wastewater <\/span><\/span>Treatment Works, which is the subject of matter of the report released recently by the Public Protector, Adv Kholeka Gcaleka\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Office. \u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The formal part of the engagement will be preceded by<\/span><\/span>\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span>an unannounced visit<\/span><\/span>\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span>to local service delivery sites, while the three-hour stakeholder engagement is scheduled to start at 13:00. \u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In June this year,<\/span><\/span>\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span>President Cyril Ramaphosa visited the community of Hammanskraal, north of Pretoria, following the cholera outbreak, which has claimed<\/span><\/span>\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span>more than 20<\/span><\/span>\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span>lives in the area.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Since then,<\/span><\/span>\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span>government has announced short-term interventions that are currently being implemented to address the water and sanitation challenges in<\/span><\/span>\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span>the area.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

During the Presidential visit, Water and Sanitation Minister, Mr Senzo Mchunu indicated that between August 2023 and March 2024, an improved wastewater technology solution will be installed at the Rooiwal plant, which will treat the sewage better and increase the quality of discharged effluent into Apies River.<\/span><\/span>\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is believed that it will reduce the levels of E. coli in the treated sewage. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Government also committed to improve the drinking water provision to the residents of Hammanskraal and Magalies Water will install a portable water treatment plant at its Klipdrift Water Treatment Works near Hammanskraal.<\/span><\/span>\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
