Midvaal Local Municipality is proud to announce the fire department’s achievements during the annual Toughest Firefighter Alive Competition which took place in Mossel Bay last week.

In a startling discovery on Monday morning, a farm in Koolfontein Midvaal became the unexpected battleground for a biohazardous menace. Cows, unwittingly stumbling upon improperly disposed medical waste, triggered an urgent response from the community and health authorities. The hazardous items, not securely contained as mandated, pose an imminent threat to human health, the well-being of animals, and the fragile ecosystem.
