In May of 2023, Minister Senzo Mchunu of Water and Sanitation, along with Deputy Ministers David Mahlobo and Judith Tshabalala, conducted a crucial ministerial visit to the northern KwaZuluNatal district of uMkhanyakude. The purpose of this visit was to evaluate the progress made in refurbishing and upgrading the water supply schemes in KwaHlabisa and Mtubatuba Local Municipalities.
The South African government has recently invested ZAR500m ($32m) to refurbish small harbors in the Western Cape as part of the Small Harbours Repairs and Maintenance Programme. Spearheaded by the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure, the initiative aims to improve the local economy, efficiency, and job market.
