Notable progress made by Nigel Town Council in cleaning up canal
NIGEL - Since HERAUT started reporting on the dilapidated state of the canal in 2014, all efforts have been exerted by Nigel Town Council to rectify the problem and to improve the general state of the canal and its adjacent areas.

During a visit on August 17 to the upper section of the canal where rigorous clean-up work is still in process, Nigel Customer Care Centre manager Tebogo Molefe explained that ridding the entire canal from debris, domestic effluent and overgrown weed has been a mammoth task up to this point, as parts of the canal are almost inaccessible by heavy machinery such as the bulldozer.
“We have to ensure that history does not repeat itself. Henceforth the canal needs to be maintained regularly to ensure it is kept free of weeds, debris and other obstacles,” Tebogo said.
