Question NW1370 to the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs
17 June 2022 - NW1370
Marais, Ms P to ask the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs
By what date does she envisage the drainage problem in Mangaung will be fixed, as roads are flooded and water runs into residents’ houses each time it rains?
Reply:
According to a report from the Mangaung Metropolitan Municipality (MMM), MMM has just finalized the appointment of a contractor to attend to the flooding spots as and when required.
It is however expected that the acting senior personnel, including the Acting Municipal Manager and Acting Engineering Services Head of Department, will ensure that service delivery plans are in place within three (3) months, budgeted for and implemented. The service delivery plans will provide timelines.
The Municipal Infrastructure Support Agent (MISA) will provide technical support to MMM with regard to infrastructure development and service delivery.
