Water project for Libode started in 2016

Millions have been spent on finishing the reticulation infrastructure for Ntendele and Mondlovini vilages, but there is no bulk water supply.

Nangamso Civils, which had a tender for R27-million, installed a 7.5 km pipeline. Thobela Jeke, of Nangamso, said they finished the job, and he showed us a completion letter from Amatola Water dated June 2019. Jali, who lives in Mkhankatho , said that when people saw the taps, they thought they'd get water at long last.

Matomela said construction of the water treatment works for purification and pumping of water is underway, with a contractor on site. It will take 18 months before processing and pumping resume. We did however find a bid opening register to tender for phase 2 of the Highbury works dated 17 May 2023, with bids by 22 companies, ranging from R117-million to R201-million.
