Projects commissioned to improve KZN water supply
Projects commissioned to improve KZN water supply
The eThekwini Municipality in KwaZulu-Natal has started the commissioning of two vital projects to improve water supply to some parts of the northern areas.
The project includes the new Northern Aqueduct Augmentation (pipeline) and a water rising main (pipeline) from Hazelmere to the Grange Reservoir.
Municipality’s Water and Sanitation Unit Deputy Head, Jabulani Mayise, said the commissioning of the 600mm diameter pipeline, which is 4.3 kilometres from Hazelmere to the Grange Reservoir, has been completed.
Mayise said since its completion, there has been noticeable improved water supply to areas, including Grange, Everest Heights, Redcliff, and the Osindisweni Hospital area.
Mayise added that the commissioning of the new Northern Aqueduct, which is currently underway, is set to improve water supply to areas, including Verulam and Phoenix, amongst others.
“The new Northern Aqueduct Augmentation pipeline interconnects to the existing old aqueduct and aims to improve [the] flow of water supply to areas in the north. This will also help cater for new developments.
“For now, we are commissioning for Verulam, Phoenix, and surrounding areas. Once we are done with this part, the pipeline will be commissioned to supply areas such as Cornubia and uMhlanga.”
The old Northern Aqueduct is a network of bulk supply pipelines that conveys water from the Durban Heights Treatment Works and supplies water to reservoirs in the north.
The pipeline has been operating at a maximum capacity, and with the increased developments, including residential and commercial, there was a need for the implementation of the aqueduct augmentation.
“Areas such as Verulam have been struggling to receive consistent water supply because their main reservoir, Mount View Reservoir, is at the end of the old Northern Aqueduct. The Mount View Reservoir supplies other downstream dependent reservoirs namely Trenence 1 and three reservoirs.”
While the city implements medium-term interventions to improve the situation, Mayise said the permanent solution to water supply challenges will be the commissioning of the Umkhomazi Dam, currently underway, which will increase water volumes throughout the city. – SAnews.gov.za

Cabinet will work together to thrash out policy – Ntshavheni
Cabinet will work together to thrash out policy - Ntshavheni
Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni has moved to clarify that any policy or significant decision will be taken through Cabinet first before a decision on implementation can be taken.
The Minister was speaking at a media briefing a day after the swearing in ceremony of the Deputy President, Ministers and Deputy Ministers of the seventh administration on Wednesday.
The ceremony heralded in the Government of National Unity formed by members of eleven different political parties.
The eleven parties to the GNU include the African National Congress, Democratic Alliance, Patriotic Alliance, Inkatha Freedom Party, Good Party, Pan Africanist Congress of Azania, Freedom Front Plus, United Democratic Movement, Al Jama-ah, Rise Mzansi and the United Africans Transformation.
During the briefing, Ntshavheni was at pains to explain that policy is not decided upon by individual ministers but through Cabinet.
“It should be stressed that both the President and individual ministers are duty bound to take the issues of policy, significant decisions such as decisions with financial consequences exceeding a department’s approved budget and any other matter…. they must take those matters to Cabinet.
“Failure to do so could undermine the validity of such a decision. So there is no single minister who can expropriate a decision of Cabinet or that policy decision to themselves because then that policy will not be valid in terms of the laws of the Republic…as provided for in the Constitution,” she said at Thursday’s briefing in Cape Town.
WATCH | Media briefing on the Government of National Unity
Doubling down on her emphasis, the minister said as head of the National Executive, President Ramaphosa “exercises the executive authority of the Republic together with other members of the Cabinet and members of the Cabinet are only ministers”.
“In this regard, the President, with the Cabinet he is responsible for, and I’m quoting directly from the Constitution, implementing national legislation unless the Constitution or an Act of Parliament provides others.
“Two, developing and implementing national policy. So, the national policies are not of individual ministers but of Cabinet.”
Ntshavheni noted that although the Constitution provides that Cabinet take collective responsibility, it gives leeway for determination on which matters can be left to individual ministers.
“[It] allows the Cabinet and the President to determine the way and procedures by which they work together, including leaving certain matters or kinds of matters to be dealt with by a single member of Cabinet, meaning a minister.
“Therefore, if a matter is not a routine matter or departmental specific matter or function, it must first be referred to Cabinet as must all matters that Cabinet itself has decided should come to it. In general, if a matter is not a routine matter it must be referred to Cabinet for its consideration by way of a Cabinet Memorandum,” she explained.
The Minister said the President can also determine when a decision that has been referred to him should be discussed in Cabinet first.
“This envisages that the President himself may determine that a President’s Minute referred to him for signature…should in fact go to the Cabinet first and, accordingly, refer it back to the Minister to take to the Cabinet.
“This is an approach which is accepted by the Cabinet as its way of “acting together with the President” when he exercises executive authority under the Constitution,” Ntshavheni said. – SAnews.gov.za

Setting priorities for the seventh administration
Setting priorities for the seventh administration
Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni has outlined the process that the Government of National Unity (GNU) will undertake to set government’s priorities and programme of action for the seventh administration.
This comes after the swearing-in ceremony of the new members of the National Executive that took place on Wednesday, 3 July 2024.
Addressing a media briefing on Thursday, the Minister said the government’s priorities and programme of action will be articulated in the Medium-Term Strategic Framework (MTSF), which is normally guided by the election manifesto of the governing party. However, in this case of the GNU, a unique case for government, this will be guided by the election manifestoes of the 11 parties to the GNU.
WATCH | Media briefing on the GNU
To give effect to the signed Statement of Intent as signed by parties to the GNU, the Forum of South African Directors-General (FOSAD), which is chaired by the Director-General in The Presidency, has undertaken the work of analysing the manifestoes of parties to the GNU.
After thorough scrutiny, the Directors-General will then submit a proposal for consideration and adoption at the Cabinet Lekgotla scheduled for Thursday to Friday (11-12 July).
NDP: A compass to guide
The Minister explained that the ultimate "filter" that determines the priorities of government will be the goals as articulated in the National Development Plan.
“The choice of priorities is guided by their alignment to the attainment of the goals of the National Development Plan (Vision 2030) as adopted by Parliament in 2012. As a country, we adopted the NDP in 2012, which was widely consulted [on], and it came to parliament for adoption. This is our plan to deliver a better South Africa for all by 2030.
“Later, the United Nations (UN) developed the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are closely linked to that plan. As we implement the NDP, we are also implementing the SDGs,” the Minister said.
Following steps
The two day Lekgotla will deliberate on the proposals of the Directors-General, after which the programmes and priorities of government will be announced.
“The adopted programme of action (MTSF) will be announced by the President at the Opening of Parliament on Thursday, 18 July 2024. After the adoption of the MTSF, the individual departments will then develop their Strategic Plans linked to the MTSF and Annual Performance Plans for implementation of the MTSF targets.
“Departments present both their strategic plans and Annual Performance Plans to Parliament and [the] Department of Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation (DPME) for oversight. The National Treasury will fund the implementation of the MTSF through the National Budget that is tabled and approved by Parliament,” Ntshavheni explained.
The DPME is responsible for overseeing and reporting on the implementation of the MTSF (the consolidated government view), and the Annual Performance Plans and submits the reports of alignment and performance to both the President and the Cabinet.
We wear a Government cap
“As we are in a GNU, the decisions that we collectively agree on as the programme of action is the programme of action of government. We are collectively responsible for implementing that programme of action,” the Minister said.
"As we go into government, we do not wear a party cap, but a government cap."
Appointment of Ministers
On the issue of when Ministers of the sixth administration ceased to be Ministers, Ntshavheni said when the President of the seventh administration assumed office or took the Oath of Office, Ministers of the sixth administration ceased to be Ministers.
“This means all the executive authority powers moved back to the single executive authority, which is the President. No Minister of the sixth administration could make a pronouncement or a commitment or sign anything after the President took his oath of office.
READ | The oath has been taken, President Ramaphosa is inaugurated
“Similarly, the Ministers of the seventh administration only assumed office yesterday, 3rd July 2024 when they took their Oath of Office.
“Consequently, the priorities of the seventh administration are only going to be adopted at the scheduled Lekgotla and Ministers will be using this period until the Lekgotla to receive briefings from their departments and consult on how to shape the direction of the discussions at the Lekgotla,” the Minister said. –SAnews.gov.za

Make a positive impact this Mandela Day
Make a positive impact this Mandela Day
With commemorations set to be held for the birthday of late President Nelson Mandela this month, individuals, communities, and organisations are once again reminded to make a positive impact in their own communities.
This as Nelson Mandela International Day was launched in recognition of Nelson Mandela’s birthday on 18 July 2009 via a unanimous decision of the United Nation’s General Assembly.
“It was inspired by a call Nelson Mandela made a year earlier, for the next generation to take on the burden of leadership in addressing the world’s social injustices when he said, ‘it is in your hands now.’ Every year, on the anniversary of Madiba’s birthday, the global community honour his life’s work by taking part in initiatives that make a difference in the lives of their communities,” the Nelson Mandela Foundation said.
This year’s Nelson Mandela Month and the International Mandela Day on 18 July will be celebrated under the theme: “It’s still in our hands to combat poverty and inequity.”
The Nelson Mandela Foundation has published a list of 10 things to do this Mandela Day to honour Mandela.
Volunteer, collaborate, and come together:
- Take part in a street clean up in your neighbourhood. Cleaning the environment benefits the entire community in different ways. It provides a sense of dignity and safety.
- Spend time with the children or elderly people at an orphanage or old age home. Your presence playing games, reading to them, or just having a conversation could really brighten their day. This is about remembering everybody in your community, and reminding marginalised people that they belong.
- Collaborate with a school to paint the walls. Many schools in South Africa are in a poor state, and students have to learn in uninspiring, undignifying environments. Painting the walls is a great way of contributing to the students' success.
- Collect sanitary towels for disadvantaged women and girls in your community. You can even just join a sanitary towel drive through your local Dischem.
Donate, give, and share:
- Donate food to homeless people. The homeless crisis in South Africa is worrying; keeping homeless people fed gives them a chance to escape their situation.
- Give old bedding, clothes and toys to an orphanage. Many orphanages are underfunded and are in dire need of resources. Donating resources could meaningfully contribute to the well-being of the people staying there.
- Plant a community garden with your neighbours, or donate trees to a needy area. Having access to good food and clean air significantly improves the lives of people living in your community.
Other kinds of support:
- Spread awareness of the campaign by boosting posts online through engagement. Use the hashtags, share people’s work, and be a cheerleader, even if you can’t contribute yourself.
- Come to the Mandela Day Walk and Run on 20 July at Wanderers Stadium with your family. Being a part of a community activity is an excellent way of honouring the values that Tata Madiba stood for - ubuntu, community, and giving back.
- Help fund social justice organisations. Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in South Africa are severely underfunded and the work they do for people in South Africa is life-changing. Consider donating funds to your favourite NGO.

Teen in hot water over viral video of assault on grandma
Teen in hot water over viral video of assault on grandma
A 19-year-old has been taken into custody for attacking his grandmother - the incident of which was recorded and went viral on social media.
In the 55 second video, the teenager from the Western Cape is seen slapping the grandmother on the face and hitting her head in the kitchen.
The elderly woman then falls to her knees before gathering the strength to stand up as her grandson continues to threaten her.
“The grandson of the victim was arrested at his residence in Wallacedene last night and he is scheduled to make his court appearance in Blue Downs Magistrate’s Court once he has been charged,” a South African Police Service (SAPS) statement read.
According to the police, the suspect was found in Wallacedene, Kraaifontein, Cape Town, where he lives with his relatives.
The grandmother is said to be in hospital for an ailment unrelated to the assault and declined to submit a statement, the SAPS said.
The police’s initial investigations revealed that the incident occurred last month at the residence of the victim.
“The police were summoned to the scene, but it is said that the family took the matter into their own hands and refused police assistance.
“The severity of the matter was realised when a video of the incident was circulating on the internet, and on this basis, SAPS intervened and opened a case docket on behalf of the victim.”
The police said crimes against women and children are on top of the SAPS’ priority list and that they will not turn a blind eye to any form of violence in this regard. – SAnews.gov.za

NHLS apologises for blood result delays
NHLS apologises for blood result delays
The National Health Laboratory Service (NHLS) has announced that while all its laboratories are operational following a cyber-attack, the issuing of test results to clinicians remains an issue.
“Under normal circumstances, the laboratory reports are automatically generated and sent to clinicians or made available on WebView, this incident has disabled that functionality. However, all urgent results are communicated telephonically to requesting clinicians,” the NHLS said in a statement on Wednesday
The NHLS announced late last month that it was hit by a cyber-attack, which compromised its systems and infrastructure.
READ | National Health Laboratory Service hit by cyber attack
In the meantime, the State-owned diagnostic pathology service provider said it was still implementing alternative plans and steps to maintain business continuity.
The NHLS has since distributed a critical test list to all health facilities.
“This is done to limit the volume of test requests, allowing laboratories to cope with the workload. However, this does not imply that routine tests will not be performed.”
In addition, the service provider had to come up with ways of making tuberculosis (TB) and HIV viral load historical test results available to clinicians.
“More tests, prioritising those on the critical test list, will be made available. In addition, we are in the process of developing an electronic registration system for registering new samples and providing test results electronically. Access to laboratory results will be the same as the historical TB and HIV viral test results.”
According to the NHLS, its current focus is to bring all its systems back online by the estimated mid-July to ensure end-user access remains.
“The NHLS is handling this challenge with extreme urgency to ensure the timely and secure recovery of all affected operations.”
Meanwhile, the organisation has since opened a case with the South African Police Service (SAPS) and informed all the relevant regulatory bodies about the breach.
“The NHLS views this attack in a serious light with significant worry and is treating the situation with great urgency. The breach has endangered the safety and well-being of millions of public health patients.”
The Board and its leadership team have apologised for the inconvenience caused by this occurrence and assured the public that the organisation is taking all necessary steps to resolve the situation.
“Despite the incident, the NHLS remains fully committed to providing high-quality diagnostic services to the public. The NHLS appreciates all stakeholders’ patience and the support we continue to receive during this difficult time.” – SAnews.gov.za

Lesufi announces Gauteng Cabinet
Lesufi announces Gauteng Cabinet
Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi has announced his Cabinet that will lead the seventh administration of the provincial government.
The new provincial Cabinet was announced on Wednesday evening.
“Today, we bring to you the new leadership and Members of the Executive Council (MEC), assigned to steer the ship towards a better Gauteng.
“The team, will from this week, start their work of consolidating the election manifestoes of our different parties so that we can develop a shared vision for Gauteng, a shared vision of prosperity, a shared vision of service delivery, a shared vision to eliminate crime, corruption and lawlessness,” he said.
The new MECs are:
- MEC for e-Government is Bonginkosi Dlamini.
- MEC for Finance and Economic Development is Lebogang Maile.
- MEC for Education and Sports, Arts, Culture and Recreation is Matome Chiloane.
- MEC for Health and Wellness is Nomantu Nkomo Ralehoko.
- MEC for Roads and Transport is Kedibone Diale-Tlabela.
- MEC for Human Settlements is Tasneem Motara.
- MEC for Social Development is Faith Mazibuko.
- MEC for Agriculture and Rural Development is Vuyiswa Ramokgopa.
- MEC for Infrastructure Development and Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs is Jacob Mamabolo.
- MEC for Environment is Sheila Mary Peters.
Lesufi explained that the formerly stand alone Department of Community Safety will now move to the Office of the Premier in a bid to strengthen the fight against crime.
“The fight against crime is going to be the centre of this government. We are migrating this responsibility to the Office of the Premier so that we can lead and champion the fight against crime, corruption and lawlessness.
“We can’t surrender our province to criminals. We can’t be scared of our own shadows and convert our own houses to be prisons because criminals are doing as they wish. We strongly believe the utilisation of creative ways of technology, innovation and the increase of personnel to fight crime in our province must be a priority.
“If there is one priority for the seventh administration and the government of Gauteng in the next five years, it’s our relentless efforts to confront and fight crime head on,” he said.
Government of Provincial Unity
The provincial executive is constituted of members from different political parties – forming a Government of Provincial Unity (GPU).
The political parties represented in the provincial cabinet are the African National Congress, the Inkatha Freedom Party, Rise Mzansi and the Patriotic Alliance.
According to Lesufi, other political formations party to the GPU “chose to use the Gauteng Provincial Legislature as their terrain of operation”.
The formation of the GPU was necessitated after no political party received an outright majority following the National and Provincial Elections in May.
The Premier emphasised that although the MECs hail from different parties, they remain committed to serving the people of Gauteng.
“We accept, without any conditions the outcome of our elections and the desires of our electorate that all political parties must work together to run our provincial government. In doing so, we must be matured; we must be sober; we must understand each other at all times. These are uncharted waters; these are opportunities that are presented to us by our voters.
“We’ve been asked to work together - to work together we will do. We’ve been asked to combine our thoughts for a better Gauteng - to combine our thoughts, we will do, together. We’ve been asked to leave no one behind. Today, we all declare that no one, will be left behind unless they choose not to be part of the [GPU].
“I want to emphasise this: there is no door that is closed. This door will be permanently open and those that want to join [the GPU] will be free to join it,” he said. – SAnews.gov.za

Hlabisa expressed his gratitude to the Deputy Ministers for their support so far.
“He assured that he and the Deputy Ministers are committed to working closely with the department’s officials, using their experience in local government and with traditional leaders.”
The Minister stressed the need to respond rapidly to challenges at the local government level by leveraging all experiences.
The Minister spoke of a proactive and diligent approach, emphasising the importance of striving to “do things right the first time”.
The department also took the time to thank the former Minister, Thembi Simelane and Deputy Minister Parks Tau for their efforts that have enabled the departments to deliver on their constitutional mandate.
