The DWA reported that mechanisms have been put in place to fast track delays in the planning processes, especially project designs, and the inaccuracies of invoices submitted by contractors. The DWA was working closely with the Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (CoGTA) in order to address its capacity challenges at a municipal level. The point was made that the De Hoop Dam project in the Limpopo Province was in good progress and that a progress report thereon would be submitted to Parliament in due course. In respect of the Nandoni Dam project in the Limpopo Province, it was noted that there were legal proceedings underway and that a detailed report would be provided to Parliament in due course. The vacancy rate of the DWA would be reduced by 10 per cent from 30,5 per cent before the end of May 2011 in order to put it on par with the norms for national departments.
