Oversight Committee
1. The following activities to be included in the Year Plan Programme and the Process Plan 2015/16:
1.1 Inspection in-loco of the mini
garden refuge sites – no window dressing of warning to individual sites beforehand. We would like to see it as they are run on a daily basis.
1.2 Inspection-in-loco to some of the streams in Tshwane. A clean-up operation should follow afterwards. Residents use even streams to dump rubbish, the streams are overgrown with invasive plants and weed. It clogs up the water flow and may even cause damage to property may even lead to flooding because the water flow is interrupted. Desalting of the streams if necessary. Obtain a water license from Province if needed.
1.3 Inspection in-loco to illegal dumping sites in the Wards. What

1.4 Inspection-in-loco to
