Resident in the Swartland region are addressing service delivery issues with their local municipality

Residents of Chatsworth and Silvertown in the Swartland region are expressing their service delivery concerns at their local municipality this morning.

A major issue is the lack of water supply following the collapse of three dams in Riverlands three weeks ago. The March coincides with a visit from Minister of Water and Sanitation, Pemmy Majodina.

The dam failures resulted in significant flooding in Riverlands, displacing many residents. Community leader Ralph Burger mentioned that around 60 people are still being housed in two community centres.

Residents question if residents in both the upper and lower areas must relocate for safety and what will happen to the school located in the middle of this flooding.
