DA says under its leadership, Nama Khoi municipality is making meaningful progress in tackling long standing sanitation backlogs and improving the quality of life of residents across Namaqualand. DA councilor at Nama Khoi municipality councilor Rodney Kritzinger says in July 2026, the municipality announced the purchase of two additional state-of-the-art sewer vacuum trucks, increasing its operational sewerage fleet from three to five vehicles. Equipped with modern suction tanks, the expanded fleet has significantly strengthened the municipality’s capacity to respond to one of its most critical public health responsibilities. Kritzinger says previously, residents could wait up to two months for sewerage and drainage problems to be attended to. He says the additional capacity is now helping municipal teams dramatically reduce waiting times and clear backlogs, like Concordia, Steinkopf, Buffelsrivier and Komaggas. He says the progress achieved over the past two months is the result of the DA’s approach over the past five years to first stabilizing the municipality’s finances, addressing debt and restoring financial sustainability.
