Albei partye het saamgestem om nou saam te werk om die huidige fees van Saterdag,10 Desember 2022 en toekomstige feeste ‘n sukses te maak wat die organisering en ondersteuning van die feeste betref. Ganza het gesê die kommunikasiekanale tussen die Munisipaliteit en die forum sal oop gehou word en maandelikse vergaderings sal tussen die belanghebbendes gehou word om enige kwessies wat mag op duik aan te spreek. Die Forum sal ‘n integrale deel wees van die geleentheid en die feestelikhede op die dag en die steun van al die belanghebbendes is bevestig.

GWAING RIVER BEACH Mouth CLOSED DUE TO HIGH E.Coli LEVEL FOUND – INVESTIGATION UNDERWAY

Internal water samples have indicated high levels of E.Coli at the Gwaing River Beach Mouth and therefore is closed for swimming. George Municipality is investigating the cause of the sludge.
On preliminary investigation no link to the Municipal infrastructure could be found. We have already checked all of our sewer pump stations. We continue to do everything to find the source of the spill.

Parts of Denneoord are experiencing low water pressure and water outage in some areas due to the main pipe burst.  A temporary feed has been established and the network will be filling slowly. The water team is attending to the burst pipe and expects to repair the pipe in a couple of hours.  We’ll keep you updated on any developments.
