ADM IDP/BUDGET PUBLIC HEARINGS OFFICIALLY UNDERWAY

ADM Headquarters, 08 April 2015 

Amathole District Municipality (ADM) public hearings on the IDP framework and Budget for 2015/16 financial year, will officially take off tomorrow the 09th of April 2015. These public hearings are in keeping with Chapter 4 & 5 of the Municipal Systems Act 32 of 2000 as amended, which encourage and create conditions for the local community to participate in the affairs of the municipality, including the preparation, implementation and review of IDP and Budget.  

The Integrated Development Plan public hearings are considered the biggest public participation platforms out of which a master plan that gives the overall framework for the development of programmes and/or projects is developed, for the benefit of communities. The exercise gives credence to local government public participation while deepening democracy, transparency and accountability. 

It also outlines timeframes for the implementation of the IDP, structures and processes involved in the attainment of key service delivery milestones. Communities are also afforded a rare opportunity to assess the progress made by ADM in changing their livelihoods while engaging the Executive on areas and issues that require their attention. These public hearings coincide with the National Imbizo Month, another government’s recommitment to deepen democracy and active citizenry while contributing to the national to “Move South Africa Forward”.  

Led by the ADM Executive Mayor Cllr Nomasikizi Konza, Members of the Mayoral Committee and councillors from Local Municipalities (LMs), the road-shows for tabling the 2015/16 Draft IDP and Budget will be held concurrently in all LMs under ADM’s jurisdiction as attached herewith.

ADM WORKING ROUND THE CLOCK TO ADDRESS WATER OUTAGES IN DUTYWA

ADM Headquarters, Tuesday, 31 March 2015  

Amathole District Municipality (ADM) is working round the clock to address water outages in Dutywa. ADM’s swift response measures follow rapid dropping of water levels at the Golf Course, Mputi and Ngxakaxa dams. The reservoirs are also operating between 30% and 35% and continue to drop. In the main, the outages are a culmination of insufficient summer rainfall this season, one of which is now dry and the other two only have a few more days of water left. 

ADM has already despatched water tankers to cart water from Butterworth to supplement the dwindling supply. Water tanks will also be placed in strategic locations and water from the tankers will also fill the Water Tanks. Furthermore, three boreholes have been drilled and will be equipped during the next two weeks, to supplement the capacity of water supply in Idutywa. 

Meanwhile, the Office of the Executive Mayor has deployed a political delegation to further look into the problem while meeting with the community to discuss ‘collective’ ways in which water can be used sparingly. The meeting is scheduled to take place at 18h00 this evening. 

ADM deeply regrets any inconvenience this may have caused but assures consumers of its commitment to excellent and sustainable services to all its communities.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WATER OUTAGES ANTICIPATED IN DUTYWA 

Wednesday, 25 March 2015  

Amathole District Municipality (ADM) would like to inform communities in and around Dutywa that there are anticipated water outages. ADM has established that unless we receive heavy rainfall in Dutywa, in the next few days, there is a likelihood of water outages in the area. 

Currently the Golf Course dam is dry and the Mputi and Ngxakaxa dams are very low.  Over the past couple of weeks we have managed to sink 3 relatively successful boreholes, but their combined yield will only deliver a quarter of the towns daily demand.  Furthermore, it will still take ADM another few weeks to equip these boreholes and connect them into the system.

ADM is working round the clock to address this problem. Meanwhile, water tankers are on standby in the event of water outages. 

ADM deeply regrets any inconvenience this may cause but assures consumers of its commitment to excellent and sustainable services to all its communities.
