Dear Editor
The DA in Kannaland is deeply concerned at the ANC/KIP-coalition municipality’s lack of action to keep communities clean and safe. The coalition portrays not only a lack of competency but also a blatant disregard for their responsibility to deliver services.
Illegal dumping in Calitzdorp and Van Wyksdorp is becoming a serious concern. Kannaland Municipality is however doing nothing to address the matter.
In Van Wyksdorp, sanitation infrastructure has deteriorated to such a point that residents use nearby fields to defecate and raw sewage is flowing in the streets, posing serious health risks to residents.
The impact of a clean environment is invaluable in a community as it provides residents with a sense of dignity and pride.
The DA echoes the community’s frustration and calls on the Kannaland Municipality to urgently take responsibility and keep our communities clean and safe.
Regards
Eleanore Bouw-Spies
DA Constituency Head, Kannaland
