ActionSA welcomes the recent announcement by the MMC of Utility Services, Cllr Themba Fosi, indicating that the City of Tshwane will be scraping historical bills for the residents of Hammanskraal.
This is a crucial recognition of the hardships faced by these residents who were deprived of potable water for over 18 years and should not be burdened with paying for water they did not consume.
As a member of the Multi-party Tshwane Coalition Government, we commend this proactive step towards justice for the residents of Hammanskraal. ActionSA has long advocated for access to clean drinking water in Hammanskraal and we are pleased to see progress being made with the anticipated arrival of clean water in September 2024.
The City’s decision to scrap historical debts is just one part of a comprehensive plan that includes registering residents who cannot afford to pay on the city’s indigent register.
We urge all residents of Hammanskraal to participate in the imbizo scheduled by the Speaker of Tshwane on 17 August 2024 at 11am at Makgoba Sebothoma Hall to ensure that their concerns are addressed and their voices heard.
ActionSA will continue to closely monitor the upgrades at the Rooiwal Wastewater Treatment Plant and will work towards ensuring the quality of effluent can be measured starting in December 2024.
ActionSA is committed to fighting for a future where access to clean water, a fundamental human right, is a reality for all residents across the City.
