| The Democratic Alliance in Tshwane launched a billboard in Hammanskraal, highlighting a simple choice for residents in the upcoming local government elections: water in taps, or water in tankers.
In the first financial year after ActionSA helped remove the DA-led government and handed Tshwane back to the ANC, the City spent R777 million on water tankers. Many of the beneficiaries of these tanker contracts are senior ANC politicians, including Tshwane Deputy Mayor Eugene Modise. Under the DA-led Tshwane, work was already underway to deliver clean drinking water to Hammanskraal through the Klipdrift Water Treatment Package Plant. But after the DA was removed from government, progress stalled under the ANC-led coalition. If residents vote for the DA on 4 November, we will wage war on the water tanker mafia and get clean, reliable water flowing from the taps of Hammanskraal residents. |
