As reservoirs for cheap labour used to build the White economy, townships were neglected and systematically underdeveloped.

Johannesburg - Resident Michael Gaade says for the Vaal River to be clean again, authorities should start by clearing the Rietspruit River and inoperative wastewater treatments which have over time also added to the pollution and created a health hazard for the communities in the Vaal area.
Carrying his pool net, Gaade, who lives in Rietspruit, a plot on the river banks of the Rietspruit River outside Vanderbijlpark, demonstrated how the inoperative wastewater treatments had been polluting the dam while pointing out that the sewage which has been flowing into the river had turned into sludge.
