The subpoena hearing is in respect of the Commission’s investigation into the complaint lodged by the South African Communal Federation (SACF) regarding water, sanitation and housing challenges at Straatsdrift and Tshwaro Farms within Ramotshere Moiloa Local Municipality.

Last year, the Commission conducted site inspections and convened several engagements with stakeholders in an effort to respond to the pressing water, sanitation and housing challenges that the residents of these farms are contending with. Whilst some departments responded positively to the Commission’s efforts, the Commission did not enjoy the cooperation of the North West Department of Human Settlements and Ngaka Modiri District Municipality necessitating the planned subpoena inquiry.

The subpoena inquiry will be held as follows: 

Date: 20 September 2023

Time: 09h00 to 13h00

Venue: NWPO offices, 25 Heystek Street, Rustenburg.
