Limpopo premier admits failure in addressing water shortage since 2013, promising action on long-standing challenges.

Limpopo premier and ANC chairperson in the province Stanley Mathabatha. Picture: Gallo Images/Sowetan/Antonio Muchavehas acknowledged his administration has failed to address the shortage of water in his area since he took over in 2013.

The Flag Boshielo and De Hoop Dams have been instrumental in providing bulk water to Polokwane, Jane Furse, Marble Hall, Groblersdal and Burgersfort. The situation became serious, resulting in residents competing for dirty water with wild animals in fountains and rivers. The only waste water treatment plant in the town was old, spilling sewage into the Giyani River.

The work was expected to be completed in three years. But since then, residents of the 55 intended villages in Giyani are yet to receive water from their taps.
