Tshwane mayor Cilliers Brink assures that plans to upgrade the Rooiwal Wastewater Treatment Works are on track, with a focus on security. The plant's failure to meet quality standards contributed to the Hammanskraal water crisis.

Brink and Minister of Water and Sanitation Senzo Mchunu were at the Rooiwal Wastewater Treatment Works on Wednesday morning for an oversight project inspection.The plant made headlines last year after a cholera outbreak which killed 23 people at Hammanskraal, with controversial businessman Edwin Sodi’s R295-million tender contract to upgrade the plant’s infrastructure being scrutinised.

People do not want water takers they want tap water. This is why we are also launching the Klipdrift water package plant project to provide water in the interim while the long upgrades take place at Rooiwal.
