Hammanskraal needs clean water, not political theatre
_By Ald. Cilliers Brink - DA Tshwane Mayoral Candidate_

President Cyril Ramaphosa’s visit to Hammanskraal and the opening of two boreholes in Kenana Gardens have done nothing to resolve the fundamental water crisis facing residents.

Yesterday I visited residents in Kenana Gardens, where households continue to endure an unreliable water supply despite the political fanfare surrounding the new boreholes.

The question residents are asking is simple: When will they have reliable, clean water flowing from their taps?

Two boreholes cannot be presented as a solution to a crisis that requires functioning bulk water infrastructure and a reliable reticulation network.

The City of Tshwane must complete the work at the Klipdrift Package Plant. This project formed part of the comprehensive intervention initiated under the DA-led coalition in 2023 to end Hammanskraal’s dependence on water tankers and provide residents with a sustainable water supply.

Since Nasiphi Moya became mayor, the project has fallen behind schedule.

The mayor has already cut the ribbon on Phase 1, yet residents continue to experience lengthy periods without water. When the water does return, many residents remain uncertain about whether they can trust its quality.

This is the reality behind the ribbon-cuttings.

While politicians celebrate projects, residents are still forced to buy water from private tankers with their own money. They are effectively paying twice for a basic municipal service they should already be receiving.

There is a further concern in Kenana Gardens that cannot be ignored. Parts of the community surrounding the new boreholes do not appear to have formal sewer reticulation. Chemical toilets are being used, and there may also be pit toilets in the area.

This raises serious questions about sanitation and the protection of groundwater sources. The City must explain what safeguards are in place to ensure that the new boreholes are not exposed to contamination.

We call on Mayor Nasiphi Moya and the City of Tshwane to provide Hammanskraal residents with urgent and transparent answers:

•What is the current status of the Klipdrift Package Plant?
•Why has the project fallen behind schedule?
•What is the revised timeline for completing all the remaining phases?
•When will Hammanskraal households have a reliable supply of clean water through their taps?
•What measures are being taken to protect the boreholes from potential groundwater contamination?
•How much longer will residents be expected to rely on water tankers?

Hammanskraal does not need another political spectacle.

It needs functioning infrastructure, clean water and a municipality that actually delivers.

Our position has remained consistent: the answer to Hammanskraal’s water crisis is not permanent dependence on tankers, temporary interventions or political photo opportunities. It is to complete the infrastructure required to provide every household with a reliable water supply.

Hammanskraal needs metsi dipompong, not metsi ditankeng.

@kholofeloMorodi @CityTshwane When will the jet patcher be used in region 4? We suffer with potholes and only cold asphalt is used in our wards. Please look at Hennopspark industrial area as well as Witstinkhout in Hennopspark. It is in dire need of attention!

People of Johannesburg, who should become your Mayor?

Retweet for Herman Mashaba

Like for Helen Zille

[Ina Strijdom @InaStrijdom]

@Patriot_S_A Helen Zille for sure! No doubt!!

[Ina Strijdom @InaStrijdom]

@RamaboduObakeng When are you visiting Mzansi Resort? The Deputy mayor who is the owner owes R23 million. Why do you not visit him???

[Ina Strijdom @InaStrijdom]

@RamaboduObakeng What about your Deputy Mayor's R23 million debt for Mzansi Resort??

You should focus on your portfolio rather than clowning around cutting power!

@RazOlsRF What a gentleman!

[Jordan Griffiths @JordiGriff]

Unfortunately, I can't respond to all the messages and tags from people wanting an explanation for ActionSA getting 0% in 3 Tshwane by-elections. A friend sent me this meme though, maybe it will help.

[Ina Strijdom @InaStrijdom]

@henriettefroh @DAGauteng Cruising nicely until your broom burns out at the next election

[Cilliers Brink @CilliersB]

Amen.

[Ina Strijdom @InaStrijdom]

@PrajayRamjee @DawieScholtz @HermanMashaba Yes, he proved himself so well he resigned. He couldn't keep up with the job!

[Ina Strijdom @InaStrijdom]

@henriettefroh @DawieScholtz Strange enough when you post on X you see it as real? So if something is not in your favour is is not real?🤣🤣🤣

[Ina Strijdom @InaStrijdom]

@Action4SA @AtholT @HermanMashaba I do not see Action SAs name mentioned on the court document!

[Ina Strijdom @InaStrijdom]

@HermanMashaba I do not see Action SAs name mentioned on the court papers!

[Ina Strijdom @InaStrijdom]

@ME_Beaumont @Action4SA @HermanMashaba @AtholT @MikaNgobeni @MatJGeorge Your nose will grow from all the lies. Claiming credit for the DA's work like your puppet mayor claims credit in Tshwane for Cilliers Brink's work!

We will see you at election 2026. Your voters have seen too much of your lies and partner hopping!

[Ina Strijdom @InaStrijdom]

@nasiphim What about Amberfield??

[Ina Strijdom @InaStrijdom]

@Magnesium161962 @MyLeaderNicole @CityTshwane @HermanMashaba @nasiphim DA ward councillors are denied access into the sub station, however EFF & ActionSA PR councillors are allowed inside. We were elected by our constituents however we are denied information which we need to share with the affected residents.

The Boss Lady is missing in action!

[Nicole van Dyk 🇿🇦 MPL @MyLeaderNicole]

This is the situation in #Centurion. The @CityTshwane assured residents all would be back by today. Power has been out since 3rd April. DA Cllrs are not being given access to the SS by the city.

Is this really what residents need to do to get answers the attention of the Mayor

[Ina Strijdom @InaStrijdom]

@RamaboduObakeng Rather focus on what your role is than keeping yourself busy with issues which is not part of your portfolio! Clean up your refuse sites and arrange more landfill sites if you want to be relevant!
