Today, I launched my election posters across Tshwane with a simple ask: give ActionSA 5 more years to keep fixing our Capital. Five more years to get the basics right. To deliver reliable services. To build safe, clean communities. To grow our economy and create opportunity. We’ve made progress. There is much more to do. Give us 5 more years to build a Capital City we can all be proud of. 💚🇿🇦 @Action4SA

City of Tshwane confirms Pretoria CBD water is safe to drink. @CityTshwane

#SaveWater Water levels in Klapperkop and Garsfontein systems are critically low due to high consumption. Continued high consumption will place further strain on the reservoirs and delay recovery.

This afternoon, I met with religious leaders in Rethabiseng, Region 7. The purpose of the engagement was to provide feedback and an update to religious leaders and the wider community of Rethabiseng about the progress we’ve made at the Bronkhorstspruit Water Treatment Plant and the provision of water to residents through water tankers, Jojo Tanks and boreholes. We are committed to providing water to all households. @CityTshwane

This morning, I met with iKosi Mkhambi II Mahlangu, the senior traditional leader of the amaNdebele Ndzundza Sokhulumi Traditional Authority. This engagement formed part of an update to the traditional council, and the broader community, about the City’s efforts to provide clean and safe water to residents of Region 7. We also provided an update about refurbishments underway at the Bronkhorstspruit Water Treatment Plant, and the City’s efforts to deliver water to communities through Jojo Tankers and water tankers. This engagement forms part of our continued effort to increase awareness to the wider community of Region 7. @CityTshwane

City of Tshwane shuts down Bronkhorstspruit Water Treatment Plant as refurbishments continue. @CityTshwane

Today, I visited the site of the water contamination affecting Findlay Reservoir, which supplies parts of the Pretoria CBD. A damaged sewer pipe in Groenkloof allowed sewage to seep into the underground water system feeding the Fountains springs, resulting in contamination of the water supply. Our teams are working to repair the damaged infrastructure and address the source of the contamination. Importantly, we have already isolated the affected water source and diverted supply to Salvokop Reservoir, allowing us to supply water from a clean source while repairs continue. However, some contaminated water may still remain in the distribution network. Until the system has been fully flushed and testing confirms that the water is safe, residents must continue boiling tap water before use. Our priority is to complete the flushing and restore safe drinking water to affected communities as quickly as possible. @CityTshwane

City of Tshwane activates alternative water supply for Pretoria CBD following a sewer pipe burst: The incident resulted in microbiological non- compliance affecting water supplied from Findlay Reservoir. The City acted quickly and emptied the Findlay Reservoir and switched the Pretoria CBD and surrounding areas to an alternative supply from the Salvokop Reservoir. This incident is separate from and unrelated to the ongoing water crisis in Bronkhorstspruit. @CityTshwane

I joined the City’s water tankers in Dark City this afternoon. I’m on an oversight visit in Region 7 to oversee the distribution of water to residents who have been impacted by the Bronkhorstspruit Water Treatment Plant water issue. While work gets underway at the plant with the appointment of Rand Water, it’s important that every resident receives adequate supply of water. @CityTshwane

Water tankers are routinely cleaned and samples are extracted for testing to ensure that the water delivered to residents in Bronkhorstspruit and surrounding areas isn’t contaminated. I joined the team this afternoon in Bronkhorstspruit. The water delivered to residents is extracted from hydrants in Cullinan. @CityTshwane

I spent the morning in Cullinan, Region 5, at the City of Tshwane’s hydrant filling stations for water tankers. This is the area that tankers are designated to collect water and transport it communities that have been impacted by the Bronkhorstspruit Water Treatment Plant water issue. These hydrant filling stations aren’t supplied through the Bronkhorstspruit Water Treatment Plant. My oversight visit today is focused on tracking the value chain of compliance with the delivery of water to communities. @CityTshwane
