    Contact: Mark Turner Call +27 78 075 0720 Email: [email protected] Local Fax: 086-6105113 INT Fax: +27-86-6105113 Directions Oxwagon Lodge is located on one of the main Johannesburg - Hartbeespoort roads, which is called the route R511. If you drive north from Fourways (Johannesburg), stay on the R511 all the way. Remember to look out for the left-turn which the R511 takes a few kms after Diepsloot/Dainfern. Continue on the R511 for about 20 kms. Just as Hartbeespoort Dam comes into view at the top of Saartjiesnek, proceed down the hill for 0.5 km and look for our entrance, on the right hand side. Turn in here and take the sand road back to the top of the hill. If you're coming from Randburg along the R512, proceed to the Broederstroom Farm Stall T-junction and then turn right. Drive about 9 kms to the R511 (passing Pelindaba on your right) and see the signs for Hartbeespoort. Turn left onto the R511 and proceed up the hill until the Dam comes into view. As above, proceed down the hill for 0.5 kms and look for our entrance on the right hand side. Turn in here and take the sand road back to the top. From the centre of Pretoria, take the "original" N4 heading west and come off at the second Pelindaba exit. We are then about 2 kms along the R511 towards Hartbeespoort, just follow the signs. If travelling from Pretoria's northern suburbs, take the "other N4" heading west (very confusing!) towards Rustenberg and come off at the Brits exit.

  • The Vaal River Inquiry Provisional Report
    Final Report of the Gauteng Provincial Inquiry Into the Sewage Problem of the Vaal River 17 February 2021 The Vaal Report Executive Summary The South African Human Rights Commission (‘the Commission’) had been alerted to online and print media reports, published during July and August 2018, reporting that raw sewage, from the Emfuleni Local Municipality (‘the Municipality’)’s Rietspruit Waste Water Care and Management Works situated in Vanderbijlpark, the Leewkuil Waste Water Care and Management Works situated in Vereeniging and other areas within the Municipality, had for weeks and months been leaking into and polluting the Vaal River and the Rietspruit. In addition to the raw sewage polluting major and essential bodies of water, the media reports stated, amongst other things, that: the main sewers in Vanderbijlpark were blocked and that raw sewerage was flowing into people’s yards and properties. In September 2018, in order to test the veracity of the media reports, the Commission’s Gauteng Provincial Office conducted an inspection-in-loco at certain sites within the Emfuleni Municipality, and observed: raw sewage flowing in a small stream that cut across the Emfuleni Golf Estate; two burst sewerage pipes on the banks of the Rietspruit that runs through the Emfuleni Municipal area; defective bio-filters at the Rietspruit Waste Water Treatment Works; a clogged sewerage manhole at the Sharpeville Cemetery and children swimming in, and consuming, polluted waters in the area of a school. Having established a prima facie violation of human rights in the Emfuleni Municipality, regarding the flowing of raw, untreated sewage flowing in the streets, homes, graveyards and also flowing into the Vaal River, the Dam, the Barrage and the Rietspruit (referred to collectively as ‘the Vaal’), and acting within its legislative mandate, the Commission established an Inquiry.
