On days like this, when water is pumped from one of the four working boreholes in the village, residents rise early to be first in line at the communal taps. The Muyexe clinic is the only completed projected from the Comprehensive Rural Development Programme launched by The Presidency in 2009. The other projects including the paving of an 8.5km stretch of road, the building of a police station, sport and recreation centre, solar power street lights and provision of piped water remain incomplete.

Although Muyexe is connected to the electricity grid its residents have no access to piped water on their properties.
