“For example, the deployment of the SANDF to fix the sewage failure at Emfuleni was part of a R3 billion effort that had no root cause analysis to guide it. “The overall lack of appropriate planning and interventions, as well as continued mismanagement, unaccountability, apathy, and neglect has led to institutional failure on a local level, in this case Hammanskraal,” she said.
