The Tshwane municipality will be investing R450 million over the next three years toward the refurbishment of the Rooiwal wastewater treatment plant.
This has been made possible by the cash-strapped city reprioritizing its budgets in response to the water crisis in Hammanskraal.
The Rooiwal plant releases water to the Leeuwkraal Dam, which is the source for the Temba water treatment plant that supplies water to Hammanskraal.
Several reports have showed that the Rooiwal plant is over-capacitated and releases waste into the dam.
Tshwane mayor Cilliers Brink said that a further R2.5 billion would be needed for phase two of the Rooiwal refurbishment project.
“Now that is not enough to solve the problem. We’ve said over and over again that the resources of the City of Tshwane are simply too limited to do the upgrades there. We also have serious supply chain management issues with irregular tenders being approved by this city in the past that we have to be honest about, so we lack the resources, we lack the expertise, we are going to need partnerships.”
