The Border-Kei AGM

What a catastrophe it would be for our CBD to be without water every night; the repercussions of this would be enormous for Queenstown!

As a result of the many concerns raised by our members regarding the drastic water cuts facing Queenstown, as well as a meeting the Border Kei Chamber of Business (Mark Wilson and Bongani Khatshwa) held with Piet Bezuidenhout, the CBD of Queenstown has not been facing the daily water cuts as previously indicated.  Approximately 600 jobs would be on the line if we got to the point where the CBD had to face daily water cuts.   WSSA worked around the clock to ensure that water would still be supplied to the business sector during this time.  In addition, the daily water cuts which started on 8 February for the rest of Queenstown, have been running from around 21h30pm until 04h30am.

Queenstown is far from out of the woods yet and we remain in a precarious position regarding this water crisis, so the appeal continues for households / businesses and individuals to conserve water wherever possible!
Thanks to all those members who raised their concerns with the Chamber -Together we really can make a difference!
