Examining Water and Sanitation Infrastructure

The Provincial Week programme also focuses on building practical water and sanitation infrastructure to ensure efficient service delivery to communities. Not only will delegates observe the infrastructure projects, but they will also contribute to addressing the challenges faced by communities. Teaming up with their provincial legislature counterparts, the NCOP delegates will spend the week examining various infrastructure projects, including bulk water supply plants, road upgrades, and water treatment plants.

The North West NCOP Provincial Week Programme will also be covered during this period. Journalists interested in covering the meetings are requested to forward their contact information to Mlindi Mpindi to receive updates.

Throughout the Provincial Week programme, the delegates will work tirelessly to ensure that the necessary infrastructure is in place to enhance the quality of life for South African communities.

Airbnb brings in lots of money and jobs, and even if all Airbnbs disappeared, it wouldn’t fix the big housing shortage. The city needs to build more homes and make it easier to do so, not just point fingers at tourists.
