Seitlholo notes improvement at Percy Stewart wastewater plant

●Mogale City's wastewater systems (including Percy Stewart, Flip Human, and Magaliesburg plants) show partial improvement but remain below national standards (Green Drop scores: 68%, 64%, 49% respectively).
●Deputy Minister Seitlholo's visit signals heightened regulatory scrutiny and potential enforcement actions for non-compliance with wastewater standards.
●Municipalities (Mogale City, Rand West, Merafong) are under pressure to address pollution in Blougatespruit/Bloubankspruit/Crocodile River, creating demand for wastewater infrastructure upgrades.
●Ongoing monitoring by the Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) may lead to tenders for remediation, compliance support, or infrastructure projects.
●Poor Green Drop scores (<30% overall for Mogale City) risk funding conditions or interventions under the MFMA/PFMA.
