Durban municipal officials have called in the SSA to investigate suspicions of sabotage and vandalism of water infrastructure in several parts of the city.
Ethekwini Water and Sanitation department head Ednick Msweli and other city officials observe repair operations to Durban’s water pipelines.
Subsequent investigation revealed that at least one air valve had been “tampered with” and a second valve appeared to have been vandalised, the municipality said. Nevertheless, Mchunu said he was pleased to announce that due to growing water supply constraints in eThekwini and surrounding areas, the stalled R23-billion engineering project to build a major water scheme on the uMkhomazi River had been resuscitated.
The TCTA would be responsible for raising 50% of the costs of the project, while the remaining 50% would be met by the National Treasury in the form of a 25% loan and a 25% grant, with construction set to begin in the 2024/25 financial year.
