09 April 2021 - NW438
Moteka, Mr PG to ask the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs
What engagements has she had with the Makhuduthamaga Local Municipality in Limpopo to ensure that the villages in the specified municipality that do not have water are provided with water services?
Reply:
We have not scheduled a DDM visit to the Sekhukhune District yet and therefore have not had engagement with the Makhuduthamaga Local Municipality.
However the Provincial Department of COGTA, working with the Sekhukhune District Municipality has engaged the municipality to discuss service delivery issues. In villages that do not have any water infrastructure, the Municipality supplies them with water through water tankers as per Ward councillor’s request.
Some of the projects that are currently being implemented in the Makhuduthamaga Local Municipality are:
