George Municipality
GEORGE NEWS - Municipalities have been hard hit by the Covid-19 restrictions and are working non-stop to address the resultant backlogs in service delivery. This is according to Local Government, Environmental Affairs and Development Planning Minister Anton Bredell, who said municipalities have been severely affected by the pandemic and some are reporting revenue losses of between 20% and 30%. Most of our municipalities rely on the busy December holiday period for revenue and have lost out significantly this past season with the various restrictions in place. Jobs across the province are under pressure and there is very little room left for municipalities, said Bredell in a recent media statement.

Cape Town - The removal of the sludge at the Cityâs Potsdam Wastewater Treatment Works (WWTW) will finally take place this week after residents in the Table View area were affected by a stench since early January.
The City advised that tenders have been granted and contracts concluded for the removal and disposal of sludge from the Wastewater Treatment Works across the city. The City said the appeals process was the reason for the delay of the service.
Milnerton Central Residents Association environmental portfolio head Caroline Marx said: âResidents in Milnerton, Table Bay and surrounding areas began complaining about the stench from Potsdam in early January together with complaints of worsening allergies and asthma and feeling nauseated to the point of retching.
