Mpophomeni Wastewater Treatment Works to enhance water and sanitation security in KZN Midlands
The Mpophomeni Wastewater Treatment Plant was commissioned on Friday. Image: Sello Seitlholo, Deputy Minister of Water and Sanitation / Facebook The government has taken another step towards addressing issues of water and sanitation security in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands with the commissioning of the Mpophomeni Wastewater Treatment Works, a project valued at R450 million. The project is a key part of the government's efforts to ensure water and sanitation security in the uMgungundlovu District. The department stated that the treatment works complement the Vulindlela Bulk Water Supply Scheme. The Vulindlela Bulk Water Supply Scheme is currently undergoing major upgrades to allow it to supply water to hundreds of thousands of residents in the Vulindlela area under the Msunduzi Municipality, who have not had tap water for more than five years. In July 2023, the Department of Water and Sanitation (DSW) held a sod-turning ceremony to mark the start of upgrades for Phase 1 of the Vulindlela Bulk Water Supply Scheme, a mega water supply project. It was stated at the time that the project, upon completion, will provide safe drinking water to communities in the uMngeni and Msunduzi Local Municipalities and surrounding areas in the district. The Mpophomeni wastewater project was launched this past Friday and is expected to address the sanitation and water challenges of 27,000 people in and around the Mpophomeni area. Residents in upper Vulindlela have highlighted their concerns regarding the need for water security, pointing out that for the past few years, they have had to rely on erratic supply from water tankers or fetch water from a borehole that belongs to a local doctor's office. They revealed that the municipality recently drilled a borehole, which malfunctioned, and residents were asked to pay towards its repairs. During Friday's launch, Deputy Ministers Sello Seitlholo and David Mahlobo provided a progress update on Phase 1 of the Vulindlela Bulk Water Supply Scheme. The Vulindlela Bulk Water Supply Scheme, one of the government's most successful post-1994 infrastructure projects, is located west of Pietermaritzburg. Initially constructed in 1998 and later designated a National Presidential Lead Project, the scheme is being upgraded in response to population growth in Vulindlela and increased municipal water demand.

Image: Sello Seitlholo, Deputy Minister of Water and Sanitation / Facebook A major component of the Phase 1 upgrade is the construction of a new reservoir that will increase drinking water storage by 20 megalitres per day, bringing the total to 35 megalitres per day to ensure more consistent water distribution to communities across the region. Additional infrastructure includes new pipelines between reservoirs, a new pump station, and an augmented power supply. This project complements the commissioned Mpophomeni Wastewater Treatment Works. Together, these two strategic infrastructure projects form part of the department's integrated efforts to ensure long-term water and sanitation security for communities in the uMgungundlovu District. Speaking at the launch, Mahlobo stated that the project's commissioning 'marks a major step forward for service delivery, water security, and cooperative governance in KwaZulu-Natal.' The Mpophomeni infrastructure project is designed to significantly improve sanitation services, protect sensitive wetland ecosystems, and enhance the quality of life for communities. It is currently operating at a treatment capacity of 6 million litres per day, with provision for future expansion to 12 million litres per day. The facility includes a 7-kilometre treated effluent pipeline and the rehabilitation of the Mpophomeni wetland. Seitlholo welcomed the commissioning while issuing a firm call to action to municipalities. 'The success of Mpophomeni proves that service delivery is possible when all spheres of government work together. But we cannot stop here. Municipalities must build on this momentum and address governance gaps, strengthening technical capacity and accelerating delivery. Our citizens deserve systems that work and leaders who make that happen without delay,' said Seitlholo. THE MERCURY

Ringing Bellville's changes — how this pan-African hub is returning to its former glory
The Greater Tygerberg Partnership is delivering results in Bellville and and addressing long-term decay by working with property owners, small businesses and civil society. Warren Hewitt, chief executive of the Greater Tygerberg Partnership, and I meet in Marshalltown in the Jozi inner city, of all places. The partnership is a collaboration between businesses and the City of Cape Town that has spruced up the Bellville CBD, about 20km north of Cape Town, and Hewitt is in town for a series of meetings. He's fresh from talks with Jozi My Jozi, a similar urban revitalisation initiative, to discuss innovative waste management solutions. We take a brisk walk through Marshalltown, down the pedestrianised Main Street to Gandhi Square, City Hall, Library Gardens, the Rand Club and back to 44 Main. It's fascinating to walk with Hewitt because his eyes are sensitively attuned to urban renewal indicators. He notices the clever use of water reticulation in a sidewalk garden, new CCTV cameras, a heritage plaque here, a missing drain cover there. He's impressed by the cleanliness of Marshalltown, how secure and safe it feels. Compared with the Jozi inner city, Bellville is significantly bigger. It's a huge pan-African hub, Cape Town's busiest transport interchange where 300,000 daily commuters use buses, taxis and trains. It hosts multinational company headquarters, well-established medical and educational centres and people living in a mixture of houses, apartments and housing estates. Unlike the Jozi CBD, Bellville never entirely collapsed, but it underwent a slow decay from the 1980s. It became a secondary city with an increase in congestion, urban slums, homelessness and illegal trading – a familiar South African narrative. Responding to the decline, the Greater Tygerberg Partnership was formed in 2012. 'We started to implement the broken window theory: fixing the small things will lead to fixing the bigger things. If you walk in Bellville these days, you'll see the results of these efforts. 'Our sidewalks have been repaired, there are huge murals and mosaic artworks decorating the area, there are urban gardens, art walks and general beautification of public spaces. And there's been a 43.4% increase in business activities since 2017,' says Hewitt. There are different pillars to the work the partnership does as urban specialists, ranging from waste management, gardening and mural projects, to creating job opportunities through waste management initiatives and enabling investment opportunities. Bellville has a huge informal trading corridor, says Hewitt, and the Greater Tygerberg Partnership is actively involved in supporting the traders. 'The main area of trading is along Kruskal Avenue near the Bellville train station, where the partnership installed a R450,000 ablution block. 'We asked local design students to submit proposals and chose the best one. Traders pay R2 per use and it's made a huge difference to their dignity.' With money from the City of Cape Town, the partnership started the 'better. bellville. together.' place-making initiative to clean up Bellville. 'We had to first understand the journey of waste – both organic waste and landfill waste – and then work out how to recycle it in sustainable ways.' Now, through its Zero Waste buy-back centre and waste pickers programme, the amount of waste the city must manage has been halved. The Zero Waste programme involved businesses, schools and communities to take more active responsibility for their waste practices. 'It's a whole-community approach,' says Hewitt, 'with a variety of projects whose intended outcome is a zero-waste future. We work with local schools to educate on waste management, we partner with informal traders and we collect over 23 tonnes of organic waste monthly. 'We also have a Track My Trash programme, where residents can use a custom-designed app to track how much waste they recycle each week.' The Greater Tygerberg Partnership also has a waste collection trolley project that matches local businesses with informal waste pickers, who are allocated trolleys to transport businesses' recyclable waste, enabling them to earn an income. The key to urban management is partnership-based local development, says Hewitt. 'We work with property owners, small businesses, civil society and culturally diverse communities. We also collaborate with the City and city improvement districts.' Working in the public space is interminably fascinating, says Hewitt, and sometimes a little frustrating. He wants less posturing, less red tape and more businesses to get involved. But for him the ultimate reward is when people feel a sense of belonging in the community and their pride of place is restored. DM
