What happened
The Bronkhorstspruit Water Treatment Plant is experiencing a sharp decline in capacity due to neglect. The facility, which serves communities including Bronkhorstspruit Town, Zithobeni, Ekangala, and Rethabiseng, is currently producing only 15 megalitres of water per day. This decline has been ongoing for months, having been at 38 ML/day of its 54 ML/day capacity in November of last year.
