*HIT Residents Association* Who are we and why are we holding a meeting on 9 March 2020?

HIT stands for our three main areas: Harrismith; Intabazwe and Tshiame.

HIT Residents Association is a registered non-profitable and non-political organization which will be our formal voice or pressure group to prevent further deterioration of our town due to a collapsed municipality.

Problems we as a community are presently experiencing in Harrismith; Intabazwe and Tshiame:
MAP is totally bankrupt and cannot provide a decent service to us as residents, farmers and business owners and is also not repaying it’s debt. We see and experience this daily in the form of:

❗Potholes in the roads

❗Damaged / stolen electrical cables that cannot be replaced or repaired resulting in us being
without electricity for days, despite most businesses and homes having pre-paid metres.

❗No refuse removal or cleaning of the town and suburbs.

❗Sewerage leaks polluting our town, suburbs, farms and river.

❗ Shortage of water to our homes and businesses due no maintenance and leaks on the
pipelines. We all know that we can be without water for days or longer.

❗Etc..


The Harrismith Water Heroes and volunteers have done a great amount of work around town to ensure water, cleanliness, electricity, etc.. But, as a small group of volunteers and minimum resources available to them, they can’t keep up with all the work that still needs to be done to restore our town and cannot provide ongoing maintenance by themselves. However, as a community, we can restore our town to its full glory providing we all stand together and support a legal non-profit and non-political body which will ensure that much-needed repairs be done and that ongoing maintenance to infrastructure will take place. It is really important that a member from each household, farm, and business attend this meeting.
