PUBLIC PARTICIPATION SUMMARY
This serves as a summary of the Public Participation Process (PPP) followed for the Proposed eGoli
Water Supply Project, Ugu District Municipality, KwaZulu-Natal.
The PPP commenced in September 2012 where site notices were erected along the route in eGoli

Isolezwe newspaper on the 17th October 2012 followed by a comment period which was open for the
I&APs to raise their issues and concerns regarding the proposed activity. A draft Basic Assessment
Report and Environmental Management Programme was compiled, and was distributed to the
relevant authorities and to the public for review, for a 40 day comment period in which I&AP’s were
afforded the opportunity to raise any further issues and concerns, until the finalisation of the document
for submission to the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Agriculture and Environmental Affairs (KZN
