Clean Water Closer to Home: Garden Route District Municipality Supports Kannaland Families
Kannaland, May 2025 — In a vital step toward enhancing water security, the Garden Route District Municipality (GRDM) officially handed over 20 water tanks to Kannaland Municipality on Tuesday, 13 May 2025. This initiative aims to improve local water resilience and ensure better access to clean water.
The symbolic handover took place in the presence of GRDM Executive Mayor Andrew Stroebel, accompanied by senior officials from both municipalities. The tanks will be strategically placed throughout Kannaland to address ongoing water supply challenges and strengthen the region’s ability to cope during dry spells.
“This initiative is a testament to our commitment to sustainable service delivery and improving the quality of life for residents across the district,” said Executive Mayor Stroebel. “Water is a basic human right, and partnerships like this help ensure that communities have consistent access to this essential resource.”
This donation forms part of GRDM’s broader infrastructure support strategy, especially in areas vulnerable to drought and climate-related disruptions.
As communities begin to receive and use the tanks, this collaboration marks another significant move toward long-term water resilience in the region.
Skoon Water Binne Bereik: Tuinroete-distriksmunisipaliteit Ondersteun Gesinne in Kannaland
Kannaland, Mei 2025 — In ’n belangrike stap om watersekuriteit te verbeter, het die Tuinroete-distriksmunisipaliteit (GRDM) op Dinsdag, 13 Mei 2025, amptelik 20 watertenks aan die Kannaland-munisipaliteit oorhandig. Hierdie inisiatief is daarop gemik om beter toegang tot skoon water te verseker.
Die simboliese oorhandiging het plaasgevind in die teenwoordigheid van GRDM se uitvoerende burgemeester, Andrew Stroebel, saam met senior amptenare van beide munisipaliteite. Die tenks sal strategies regoor Kannaland versprei word om dringende watertekorte aan te spreek en die streek se veerkragtigheid in tye van droogte te versterk.
“Hierdie inisiatief is ’n bewys van ons verbintenis tot volhoubare dienslewering en die verbetering van inwoners se lewensgehalte,” het Burgemeester Stroebel gesê. “Water is ’n basiese mensereg, en vennootskappe soos hierdie help om te verseker dat gemeenskappe volgehoue toegang tot hierdie noodsaaklike hulpbron het.”
Die skenking vorm deel van GRDM se breër strategie om plaaslike munisipaliteite met kritieke infrastruktuur te ondersteun, veral in gebiede wat kwesbaar is vir droogtes en klimaatsversteurings.
Soos gemeenskappe begin om die tenks te ontvang en te gebruik, dui hierdie samewerking op nóg ’n belangrike stap vorentoe in die bou van langtermyn waterveerkragtigheid in die streek.
