A new criminal case has been opened against the embattled Ngaka ModiriMolema District Municipality in Mahikeng, North West over the discharge of raw or poorly treated sewage from its wastewater treatment plants. The Department of Water and Sanitation has confirmed it's currently investigating three criminal cases against the municipality for transgressions at its Mahikeng, Mmabatho and Zeerust Wastewater Treatment Works. They received two additional dockets from police which includes a case opened earlier this month regarding the dysfunctional wastewater treatment plant in Sannieshof. Four additional cases, relating to the wastewater plants in Lichtenburg and Biesiesvlei have already been submitted to the NPA.
