The Mayor of Richtersveld Local Municipality, Cornel Knoph, has raised concerns about the condition of the sewage dam in Lekkersing.

Knoph provided the update on several local government developments, including progress on sanitation services over the past week.

Knoph says the municipality is closely monitoring the situation at the sewage dam due to potential health risks.

The mayor says that the recent extreme humidity conditions in the region could worsen sanitation challenges if the matter is not addressed urgently.
