This morning we left early, at 5:30 from Johannesburg to Secunda. Secunda lies in the Gert Sibande District. The Gert Sibande District Municipality is one of the three district municipalities in Mpumalanga province. We met there our contact person Michael Wells and then drove on to a place called Pixley Ka Seme.
Michael Wells is the director of Water & Sanitation from the Gert Sibande District Municipality.

After the meeting we left with Michael to take a look at some sewage treatmant plants and water treatmant plants. We drove all day to see all the plants from the District. We did see the plants from Amersfoort, Volksrust, Vukuzakhe, Perdekop and Wakkerstroom.

Today we could see with our own eyes what the problems are and what to expect. The team learned a lot this day from the knowledge of Nikki.
After a long day we had a lovely dinner in a Swiss restaurant. A little bit of Europe after all.
