- W4384347251 abstract "The maintenance and the rehabilitation of municipal infrastructure are formidable challenges facing many local municipalities in South Africa. Infrastructure is crumbling because of years of neglect, resulting in the under-provision of basic municipal services. This chapter investigates the state of municipal infrastructure regarding potable water, wastewater, electricity, solid waste, roads, parks and open spaces in the town of Phalaborwa, Limpopo province. Data was sourced from municipal documents, various government, consultant and non-profit organisation reports, academic literature and online media. In addition, semi-structured interviews were conducted with several key municipal, business and civil society respondents. It was found that infrastructural neglect and municipal financial problems were the foremost reasons for the severe service delivery issues experienced by residents in Phalaborwa. This, despite the assistance of two large mining companies in the form of projects linked to their corporate social responsibility (CSR) mandates, assistance with projects outside its CSR mandates and availing their artisans for the repair of municipal infrastructure. Ratepayers’ associations have tried for years to hold the Ba-Phalaborwa Local Municipality accountable, but to no avail. A new civil society forum, Let’s Change Ba-Phalaborwa, was constituted in early 2022. The forum has a seven-pillar strategy to remedy the infrastructural situation, including taking the local municipality to task while also extending an offer to provide expertise. The future will tell if an accountability-partnership approach between civil society and the municipality can fix the situation. If not, the town will very soon be on the brink of infrastructural overload and collapse." @default.
