President to lead oversight visit to Emfuleni Local Municipality, Gauteng

President Cyril Ramaphosa will tomorrow, Friday, 27 October 2023, lead an oversight visit to Emfuleni Local municipality in Gauteng to assess progress and steps taken to improve service delivery.

The municipality has faced difficulties in the provision of water services, leading the national Department of Water and Sanitation to intervene and effect upgrades and improvements to critical bulk pipelines and pump stations infrastructure.

The President’s visit to Emfuleni will be undertaken within the context of the District Development Model (DDM), which aims to improve cooperative governance through integrated intergovernmental planning and budgeting.

President Ramaphosa will visit the area's waste water treatment plant and highway pump stations before meeting with stakeholders in the area.

A media pool arrangement will be in place and the event will be streamed across various government social media platforms.
