The primary focus of the event will be looking at possible methods of preventing waterway pollution.
It will provide a platform for innovators, researchers, entrepreneurs, residents and businesses to submit ideas to help solve key challenges affecting the inland ambient water quality of our rivers, vleis, waterways and wetlands. City leaders will unpack a set of current challenges to focus on, relating to aspects of wastewater reticulation and treatment (sanitation services), theft and/or vandalism, informality, and sources of pollution.
Those who want to participate in the indaba will showcase their feasible and applicable ideas and solutions for these specific key problems outlined by the City at the briefing.
Due to limited capacity at the venue for the launch and briefing on 1 February 2023, interested stakeholder organisations should please register to attend.
