Mogale City’s Water Services has taken a significant step towards improving the sustainability and performance of its Wastewater Treatment Works (WWTW) through a formal partnership with the Water Institute of Southern Africa (WISA). A Memorandum of Understanding was recently signed, focusing on training, knowledge sharing, and skills development for Process Controllers working in Mogale’s wastewater treatment facilities.
While addressing longstanding operational challenges at Flip Human, Magaliesburg, and Percy Stewart WWTW, the WISA-led training programme will equip selected personnel with the expertise and professional accreditation required to qualify as Professional Process Controllers. This will enhance the technical management of the municipality’s treatment plants, ensuring compliance with national regulations, and improve long-term operational efficiency.
WISA, the oldest and only water-related professional association in South Africa, is recognised by the South African Qualifications Authority as a professional body. As a custodian of the Professional Process Controller designation, it is authorised to audit, award and administer qualifications within the water sector.
This partnership represents a proactive step towards sustainable water management, delivering far-reaching benefits for both the municipality and more so the communities it serves.
