The South African government has allocated close to R25 billion to address the severe water crisis in the Sekhukhune district and surrounding areas in Limpopo province.
President Cyril Ramaphosa made this announcement during the 8th Presidential Imbizo held in the Tubatse municipality.
Sekhukhune district, known as the mining hub of Limpopo, has the potential to become the mining capital of the country. However, residents in the area have struggled to reap the benefits. High unemployment rates, limited access to tertiary institutions, illegal mining, crime, poor infrastructure, and water scarcity are persistent issues.
The government says it will adopt a new approach through the District Development model to ensure effective project implementation.
