In order to investigate these complaints at a systemic level, the Commission has launched a provincial inquiry into sewerage spillages and waste water treatment challenges in the province. Broadly speaking, the aim of the inquiry is to test the veracity of the complaints received, as well as to explore their possible resolution. At this stage, the inquiry will take the form of hearings, as well as announced and/or unannounced inspections, with the initial hearings to be held on 29-30 November 2018 in respect of Nkomazi and Lekwa Local Municipalities.
