Water Update:
Greenbushes, Kuyga and Colleen Glen
1 October 2025 - 15h15

The municipality experienced pump issues further away at Nooitgedagt and was attempting to supplement supply from the Seaview pumps. It was originally indicated that water should be restored during the course of this morning.

Reports were received of significant water at the Island Reserve and the NMBM has been struggling to get the line up to pressure.

They are currently investigating the matter and working towards a resolution.

Any further updates will be shared in the comments section of this post as they become available.

Electricity Faults Update – 30 September 2025, 17h20

The isolated faults on the FGR, TCR and Rocklands SE line, were all reported to the NMBM this morning.

No further feedback has been provided and it appears both the non-operational landlines as well as the staff’s cellphones are now also disconnected and causing further problems.

The supervisors at the responsible depots are aware of the faults and are trying to work through the problems and lack of communication.

When raw sewerage flows in our streets instead of being dealt with, this is the reason.

Imagine a competent government like the DA in charge: regular maintenance, accountability, no R150 million left unspent while basic services collapse.

To underspend that much while our communities are suffering, is a scandal.

Our people deserve better!

Only the DA knows how to fix NMBM, have done it before and can do it again!
