A team from the Presidency’s Department of Performance Monitoring and Evaluation and North West Office of the Premier will be visiting Ngobi village and Moretele Local Municipality tomorrow, Monday to follow through interventions to ensure that disruption to water supply experienced at Ngobi village does not reoccur.
“Though the two-day disruption of water supply should have been reported sooner and escalated for prompt intervention, someone within the municipality’s technical section should take responsibility for dereliction of duty” said Premier Thandi Modise.
In welcoming confirmation that the Department of Water and Environment Affairs will be paying for coupon for electricity for the entire year, Premier Modise appealed to Ward Councillors and ward committee structures to monitor and take ownership of services delivered by government.
Eleven boreholes to alleviate water shortage in the area were officially launched by President Zuma as part of the Ngobi Water Project during his Performance Monitoring and Evaluation last month in response to an email that he had received from 47-year old Mmatsheko Pine before the State of the Nation Address.
In addition, another ten boreholes have been constructed in the area. The construction of 2,5MI water reservoir has already started in the area which also involves the electrification of boreholes and construction of pump stations.
