SEDIBENG.- HEINEKEN South Africa recently hosted a government delegation from the Flanders region of Belgium for a tour of a newly constructed water reclamation plant at Sedibeng Brewery.  The water treatment plant was constructed in 2020 by the Flemish company Waterleau, a global water technology Company specialising in design and construction of water and wastewater treatment infrastructure.

The visit by the Flemish- Belgian government led by His Excellency Minister-President Jan Jambon, was part of a showcase by Waterleau of its successful water projects in South Africa, which the water treatment plant in Sedibeng is one of them.

Amongst the key stakeholders in attendance were the Midvaal Executive Mayor, Peter Teixeira; the Diplomatic Representative of the Government of Flanders in South Africa, Dr. Geraldine Reymenants; City of Johannesburg Councillor, Mr Michael Sun; as well as the representatives from Rand Water and Johannesburg Water.

Teixeira acknowledged HEINEKEN and the Flanders government, saying his municipality had considerable interest in such technologies to improve access to water.
