The Minister of Water and Sanitation, Ms Pemmy Majodina, will on Monday, 27 July 2026, conduct site visit to the Seshego Water Treatment Works to assess the operations of the newly built state-of-the-art plant since its commissioning in May 2024. The Minister will be accompanied by the Board of Lepelle Northern Water, led by the Board Chairperson, Dr Nndweleni Mphephu.
The Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) funded the construction of the treatment plant at the tune of R234 million from its Regional Bulk Infrastructure Grant (RBIG) and appointed Polokwane Municipality, which is the Water Service Authority, as an implementing agent.
The water treatment plant, which currently produces 5.9 million litres of water per day, serves the township of Seshego and its extensions, encompassing a formal population footprint of roughly 91 500 residents.
Members of the media are invited to the site as follows:
