SBDM Support to Makana LM

On Tuesday, 23 January 2024, Makana Municipality received two floating pumps and 100 wheelie bins from the Sarah Baartman District Municipality.

 

The two pumps will benefit the community members of Riebeek East and Alicedale. The floating pumps will assist in firefighting in these areas. The device can be used by fire brigades to replenish fire engine tanks with water from outdoor natural water sources. It can also be used to pump out water from flooded areas and rooms.

The wheelie bins will be distributed to various schools around Makana Local Municipality to promote recycling as a way of trying to manage waste. Makana Local Municipality has a waste management challenge and this is one of the strategies that we are using to  assist the municipality to deal with the problem. Some of the bins wil be donated to to elderly centers.
