LTLM reported that they were facing service delivery and capacity constraints. These included sector departments that were not participating in the IDP process, and most of the land that belong to the municipality were used as dumping sites. Over the past five years, they have been discussing this issue with the Department of Mineral and Energy (DME), requesting it to come to the rescue by relocating these sites. LTLM further reported that is was also experiencing a challenge at Bloemhof, in the sense that it was being serviced by two DME regions that were not operating in terms of the same set of rules (namely, North West Region and Gauteng Region).
