Manamolela – Residents of Manamolela and Vrisgevacht villages near Delareyville in Tswaing Local Municipality now have drinking water, thanks to Premier Supra Mahumapelo’s intervention through Setsokotsane Programme. 

Residents who attended a brief meeting with Premier Mahumapelo on Friday, 07 November were told by the officials and technical experts from Ngaka Modiri Molema District which serves as a water authority, that while the current water supply intervention was temporary, a long term solution to their challenges was being attended to.

Water supply was restored on Friday, immediately after the community’s meeting with the Premier .

Premier Mahumapelo who received a hearty welcome at his home village, urged farmers in this area to organise themselves and seek assistance from government, saying farmers in Manamolela and neighbouring villages must endeavour to produce more food and contribute their share towards the improvement of the Province’s economy through agriculture. As a farming area, Tswaing Local Municipality has huge hectares of arable land.

“Most land in this area is still lying fallow, and we are at a critical point where communities must demonstrate efforts to gainfully use this land”, Premier Mahumapelo told the meeting.

Expressing his concern about the general condition of roads in all the villages of Tswaing Local Municipality, Premier Mahumapelo committed his Provincial Administration to ensuring that roads in this Local Municipality are improved in phases, this in line with the strategy to rebrand, reposition and renew the Province of Bokone Bophirima.
