The Vaal River clean-up project has received another injection of funds.
The river has been an environmental and health risk for years as raw sewage from multiple points has flowed into the water and surrounding areas.
Despite the deployment of specialised engineers from the South African National Defence Force, not all the sources of raw sewage polluting the river have been stopped.The project was halted as R873-million is needed to continue with the project, which includes rebuilding a collapsed waste-water system.
Engineers have been hard at work since last year trying to repair the Sebokeng Wastewater treatment plant.
