Fort Beaufort to get water upgrade and a College
STAFF REPORTER
Amathole District Municipality has appointed a professional service provider to upgrade Fort Beaufort’s water Bulk Supply Scheme. The project entails upgrading the capacity of the treatment plant, bulk pipelines and building storage and command reservoirs. It’s estimated the work will take 18-24 months and is expected to start in May 2021.
President Cyril Ramaphosa visited Fort Beaufort on 7 April for a commemoration of the 150th anniversary of human rights campaigner Charlotte Maxeke’s birth. While he was there, residents complained about water challenges at Gqudezi.
Illegal connections to the main pipeline to Gqudezi in Fort Beaufort have cause water outages to the village, the Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) said.

The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) will in the coming days come out with a timetable for a load-shedding exercise.
Areas to be affected and periods for the exercise are expected to be contained in the timetable.
Managing Director (MD) of ECG, Kwame Agyeman-Budu, disclosed this in Accra yesterday and explained that the exercise had become necessary because of a tie-in of the 330kv transmission lines from Aboadze in the Western Region to the new Bulk Supply Point under construction at Pokuase in the Ga West District of the Greater Accra Region.

A few days ago, I had an ‘Atia’ moment with my classmates on our Whatsapp platform. One of my mates remarked wryly that I had so far not written a word about the power situation, especially since I now work at the Ministry of Energy.
A chorus of agreement followed on the platform.
The remark and the ensuing approvals reminded me of the story told of the legendary singer, A. B Crentsil, who once went to Bolgatanga to perform.
After several songs, his local fans reminded him that he had notably failed to perform his hit song ‘Atia’ (a parody of a fictional Bolgatanga native who relocated to Kumasi and died of excessive ‘akpeteshie’ consumption), and that whether he performed it or not, they would beat him anyway, so he might as well perform it.)
