To celebrate this victory Van Staden witness the connection of 500 homes of extension 13 in Phagameng to the municipality’s electricity grid last Friday.” The area has been under-serviced in the past, but with money made available through the Integrated National Electrification Programme 500 families can now enjoy the benefits of safe and reliable energy.”
Making sure that residents of the municipality are connected to basic services and ensuring that these services are stable and affordable is one of the Mayor’s top priorities. In the next financial year the municipality plans to install water and sewerage to the same homes in extension 13 and a further 500 homes will be connected to the electricity grid.
