The Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) and City of Cape Town invite the media to the launch of an anti-vandalism awareness campaign at Fisantekraal near Durbanville on Friday, 27 May 2022.

This joint launch will be led by the Department of Water and Sanitation Western Cape Provincial Head Ms Ntombizanele Bila-Mupariwa and the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Water and Sanitation Councillor Zahid Badroodien.

Recent months have seen several disturbing incidents of vandalism of water and sanitation infrastructure, including the burning of a pump station in Wallacedene, Cape Town. The situation is further aggravated by the attacks on City water and sanitation staff while on duty.

The City and DWS strongly condemn vandalism of infrastructure and the attack on staff as such conduct affects the municipality’s mandate to deliver essential services.
