Vaalriver / dam pollution / besoedeling – ONAFHANKLIK
Posted on 09 Januarie 2019 by volksvryheid
Rou riool word al vir ‘n geruime tyd in die riviere wat die Vaaldam voed, gepomp. Daar was vroeer berigte sowel foto’s geneem waar rou riool direk in die riviere ingepomp word wat die dam voed en miljoene mense van water voorsien. Intussen vang mense te lekker vis en daar is geen manier as hierdie water so besoedel is dat vis nie gekontamineer is nie.
A project which will pump raw sewage into the Vaal Dam is in an advanced stage, James Letuka, a DA member of the Free State provincial legislature. After receiving a complaint from local councillors, Letuka visited Deneysville and saw the pipes being laid. The pipes lead directly from the sewerage system to the dam.
Parliament’s Portfolio Committee on Water and Sanitation has expressed shock at the state in which it found the Vaal Dam.
This comes after reports that fish were dying in the dam because of a change in the temperature and not raw sewage that was being pumped into it.
The committee’s chairperson Mlungisi Johnson says municipalities should seek urgent ways of ensuring that the contaminated water is cleaned.
“Johannesburg, Ekurhuleni municipalities equally have to come and play a role. They are equally pumping waste water in the dam. It’s a whole range of complex and complicated issues that need to be nipped in the bud.”
Petrochemicals giant Sasol has denied that it is responsible for pollution in the Vaal river. However, it has admitted struggling to interpret some compliance requirements with regard to regulations on the discharge of waste. According to a report by the Department of Water and Sanitation Department, three of Sasol’s waste incinerators were closed after failing to comply.
Petro-chemical giant Sasol says three of its waste incinerators were closed because it struggled to interpret some compliance requirements. This comes after a report by Water and Sanitation showed that Sasol had failed to comply.
The City of Ekurhuleni is however resolute that they have not polluted the Vaal river system.

Dit lyk vir my dat as daar nie geld is om die projek reg te hanteer nie, dan is die enigste oplossing dit wat hulle nou doen…… Soos Prof Anthony Turton sal se > Dis n Dilemma wat ook van toepassing is met vele ander sake soos water in die res van die land. Die Regering is Bankrot as gevolg van diefstal van regering geld deur die voorige President en sy maats . Hierdie Diefstal het nie opgehou nie, en President Ramaposa, is blykbaar nie in n posissie om die saak reg te stel nie. of anders word dit te stadig gedoen……….WAT is die Antwoord ?? Ek sal graag van ander opgeleide mense Hoor.

Dankie David vir terugvoer, stem saam hiermee. En natuurlik speel die regering bankrot want hulle sit met al die geld, en dis verseker ook ‘n manier om al ons mense se grond en besittings aan die einde te palm, veral as water so besoedel is, dryf dit ons mense weg om te boer. Stedelikes moet meer opdok, wat die regering ekstra inkomste besorg. Nee dit het nie met Ramaphosa opgehou nie, inteendeel, dit gaan aan.

Sou die weermag alles reg kry wat werk, wat sal oor ‘n jaar of 5 weer gebeur, dit gaan eenvoudig herhaal wat die afgelope 25 jaar plaasvind. Hoor ook graag van kenners.
