PRESS STATEMENT
THE NEWCASTLE MUNICIPALITY CONDEMNS PLANS TO DELIBERATELY DAMAGE MUNICIPAL WATER PIPES.
19 February 2020
Newcastle-The Newcastle Municipality has learnt of fresh threats to deliberately disrupt the water supply of the entire municipality. Municipal officials received a tip-off that a group of disgruntled members of the community will create panic by damaging pipes that supply the municipality with water. The tip-off further states that the intention is to agitate for another “TOTAL SHUTDOWN.” The municipality was also informed that the intention is to influence public perception and render the municipality dysfunctional. The group also plans to temper with the municipality’s reservoirs.
The matter will be urgently reported to the police and the municipality’s law enforcement agency will be closely monitoring all its water supplying pipes. Mayor Cllr. Dr Ntuthuko Mahlaba reiterated calls to invite aggrieved parties to engage in a constructive dialogue.
“We honestly can’t have people temper with a key resource that gives life to thousands of residents. It is evident that these are individuals who are not willing to engage in a diplomatic manner with the municipality, and unfortunately they now want to hold our residents at ransom. We strongly condemn this planned deliberate sabotage. Damaging municipal property is an act of criminality. We are a listening municipality and we will never turn away residents with genuine concerns,” state Cllr. Dr Ntuthuko Mahlaba.
Mayor Dr Mahlaba has urged community members to refrain from taking part in intentionally planned violent protests.

The water issue is been a crisis for the last 5 years now in Newcastle. The burst pipes festival that happens every week. Slow response on water leaks, you find reported water leaking in the streets for months. As we speak there's no water in Osizweni(Not sure about other places) for two weeks and no water tankers supply and you staff members are getting paid full salaries every month that what we know. Now I'm not sure if those anti-mayor or mayor haters who wants to damage the pipes are also responsible for all the extreme poor water management we've experiencing for years as well.
This management is always full of excuses and they like blaming others a lot.
Who informed you😂😂🤣
You in our pray the honourable and the management
This is a joke

200+ staff was dismissed based on over time and fighting the employer..... Fine.. When are you employing new staff to bring back services as normal and stop this volontary thing you are doing. What is the budget for salaries of the dismissed employees doing?????
Always on town hhow about townships? And we have to celebrate that?
Go see what the sidewalks look like in Drakensberg road opposite Ferrum. I don't see how Newcastle is being kept clean.
Hire people to clean the town....
Wish I can be a part of cleaning campaign but eish transport money ayibonwa😞
Kudlaliwe ngabantu qhashani nje ngoba nina niyahola but nidlala ngabantu mxm
Newcastle looks like a dump. Maintenance and services are not being done. Verges and parks are overgrown, refuse is an issue, people are dumping garden refuse in suburbs. It's disgusting. But yet the Municipality still takes our money every month for services not rendered.

The year of the active citizen.
Last week a group of community members from Madadeni caught the attention of many, when the group took it upon themselves to voluntarily clean their area. The seemingly concerned individuals said it was worrying that litter remains a man made issue, which in most cases can be prevented if people use bins. According to the group, which is spearheaded by women, emphasized the irreversible impact that litter has on the community.
“It’s disheartening that people still choose to litter in this day and age, instead of throwing rubbish in the bin. Unfortunately we can’t sit back and allow litter to reduce the conditions of our area. I personally feel that there is a need to emphasize the need to use bins,” said Nonhlanhla Mdluli.
Mdluli is among many residents who has partnered with the municipality, in a bid to create a network of residents who want to make a meaningful contribution towards obtaining clean governance and a litter free society. ... See MoreSee Less
