Why is the additional R5,000 necessary
Why is the additional R5,000 necessary to cover a shortfall for SafeWaterkloof?
There are a number of reasons:
- We still have a shortfall on capital of R3.07m;
- Approximately 55% of the total available residents have contributed their second deposits (this is much lower than we expected);
- 168 members have signed an agreement but have not paid their 2nd deposits;
- There have been additional legal costs (3 High court cases);
- On-going financial management monthly costs to i.e. StreetSafe and our contractor;
- Increased construction costs – the original contract value at tender stage 2021 was R11.6m and now has gone up to R12.2m mainly due to steel prices.
We are requesting an additional R5,000 per house. This is based on an estimated 620 (45%) residents x R5,000 = R3,1m.
If we receive more than required – you will get a credit on your monthly amount.

We have already received over R200,000 in shortfall payments. Thank you very much to those who have already made payment. We appreciate your support – let’s make this happen.

Why is the Reapplication necessary?
Application process:
Every two (2) years, a renewal application needs to be submitted to the City Of Tshwane. In the case of SafeWaterkloof, this needs to be submitted by 11 November 2022 deadline.
Part of the process is to update the following items:
- Traffic study – we have received a number of quotes and have appointed LD&S to do the traffic counts and study during the month of October
- Support base: We need to demonstrate that SafeWaterkloof has seventy (70)% support.
- Updated crime stats
Consent Form:
This will be achieved via a consent form, which will be sent out via e-mail with subject “Safe Waterkloof Reapplication Consent Form” from E-Sign in the course of the next day and will need to be digitally signed by each household please.
This form will be sent from E-Sign – please watch out for an email subject line “Safe Waterkloof Reapplication Consent Form”. This can be completed via mobile or from your desktop.
Many thanks in advance for signing the consent form.
==================================
Register for pedestrian gate access
In order to start the operations of the pedestrian gates – we will need to register all the users of the gates. The gates will only be in operational
There are two ways to access the gates:
- Smart phone (App that connects to the gate)
- Non Smart phone (each gate will have a unique number that can be accessed through a missed call)
Smart phone
Access is via a Bluetooth Device (which is not dependent on a cellular network which may be negatively affected during load shedding). Once you are within the bluetooth range it will show the gate on the Fluss app.
Non smart phone
Each pedestrian gate is fitted with a GSM module that can write 500 numbers. The gate will be opened using a missed call to the unique number for each gate.
The gates will NOT be able to be opened remotely as the person who opened the gate, cannot see who enters or exits.
To register for pedestrian gate access please visit this page here.
