MAYOR MASEGELA JOINS MUNICIPAL TEAMS TO CLEAR WASTEWATER BLOCKAGES DURING MANDELA MONTH CLEAN-UP CAMPAIGN
As part of the Municipality’s Mandela Month Mayoral Clean-Up Campaign, Mayor Neo George Masegela joined municipal technical and cleansing teams in Mothibistad RDP as work continued to clear blockages within the municipal wastewater system. Municipal teams removed large quantities of cloth, plastic and other solid waste from the wastewater system—materials that do not belong in the sewer network and contribute to blockages and wastewater overflows. The maintenance work will restore the flow of wastewater while protecting public health and the environment. Mayor Masegela commended municipal employees for their commitment to delivering essential services and supporting cleaner, healthier communities through practical action during Mandela Month. The Municipality reminds residents that disposing of cloth, plastic, nappies, wet wipes and other solid waste into the wastewater system contributes significantly to blockages. Responsible waste disposal helps protect municipal infrastructure, reduces service disruptions and safeguards public health and the environment.
Resident Reminder: Only wastewater and toilet paper should enter the sewer system. Dispose of nappies, wet wipes, cloth, plastic and other solid waste with your household refuse to help prevent blockages and overflows.
