Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the Council -
(1) notes with concern the ongoing sewerage problems in Matjhabeng in Welkom, and Odendaalsrus in the Free State province; and
(2) urges that active intervention take place by the local municipalities and the Department of Water Affairs to prevent raw sewerage from flowing into pans, rivers and residential areas as this creates a health hazard and could lead to cholera and other diseases.
Motion agreed to in accordance with section 65 of the Constitution.
