Ramaphosa hails Mchunu's pace in attending to water and sanitation projects: President Cyril Ramaphosa has hailed the way minister Senzo Mchunu has fast-tracked water and sanitation projects since assuming office.
Ramaphosa said Mchunu had targeted projects that had stalled or the government was spending billions on without seeing any results.
Ramaphosa, together with Mchunu, conducted an oversight visit to inspect water projects aimed at improving bulk water provision and the maintenance of bulk water infrastructure in the province. The upgraded plant, constructed in 1998, underwent a R1bn facelift and has an increased sewage treatment capacity of 100 megalitres per day, from 65, for residents of Umsunduzi.
He said it also comes with world class technology that allows for cogeneration of electricity for its internal use, using waste being treated there. Ramaphosa said he was pleased Mchunu was on top of the water provision issue because it was one of the biggest crises in the country.
