Dry taps for Limpopo folk at Christmas
The Citizen|December 23, 2024
Some Limpopo communities will have no water on Christmas Day, making it the 11th consecutive year of dry taps after the R4.5 billion Presidential Giyani Bulk Water project has failed to bring water to the 55 villages since 2014.

Mopani district municipality mayor Pule Shayi apologised and explained why residents would have no water again.

The Giyani area has suffered water shortages for more than two decades. When former president Jacob Zuma visited the Giyani Waste Water Treatment Plant with former water and sanitation minister Nomvula Mokonyane in October 2014, several community members had been diagnosed with diarrhoea, typhoid, malaria and cholera.

A few months later, Zuma ordered Mokonyane to turn the water situation in Giyani around.

The project dubbed the Presidential Giyani Bulk Water begun in August 2014 with a budget of just over R500 million.
