press release

Yesterday, together with Minister Tertuis Simmers, Mayor Grant Riddles, different sporting codes, cultural groups and the community, Minister Anroux Marais officially opened two new sport stadia in the Hessequa Municipality. At just below R10 million each, the new Slangrivier and Melkhoutfontein Sport Stadia is now open to the communities it serves.

At the official opening, Minister Tertius Simmers said, "These openings demonstrates how we're ensuring that residents live in communities where they have access to all amenities. We're not paying lip service to the delivery, instead it is clear for all to see. Not only is a new integrated human settlement on the horizon in Melkhoutfontein, where 539 serviced sites will be delivered in 2023, but the Slangrivier residents recently received a further 29 title deeds. This brings the number of households in this community that are now fully-fledged and legal homeowners to 239. The Western Cape Government and its partner in the local sphere is delivering in a tangible manner to empower residents and to holistically improve and change people's lives in the Hessequa area".
