The construction of the Free State's Cornelis River Catchment Dam has been completed, according to the department of water and sanitation. The Department’s spokesperson, Sputnik Ratau, told OFM News that the Phumelela Local Municipality is under a lot of stress to deliver basic services, due to the fact that they are struggling with water supply.
