Waste investigation
Infrastructure at Mogale City has collapsed. The municipality now deliberately releases thousands of litres of raw sewage into the rivers and residential areas.
The sewage pollutes critical water sources such as the Vaal, Crocodile and Bloubankspruit rivers and the Hartbeespoort Dam.
To stop the sewage flow, the Department of Water and Sanitation has paid the municipality more than R35 million to fund equipment repairs. However, the problem has become worse.
