21 February 2026- The Deputy Minister of Water and Sanitation, Sello Seitlholo will on Monday, conduct an urgent oversight visit at Pudimoe Water Treatment Works located 17km north of Taung and will also interact with members of the community of Dryharts. This follows sporadic water supply in Dryharts and the surrounding villages in Greater Taung Local Municipality, resulting in recent community unrest in the affected area.

Seitlholo said his visit aims to assess water supply challenges and identify immediate and long-term interventions, evaluate planned or existing projects intended to improve sustainable water provision. He further said he will also ensure that there is sound coordinated action between the Department, Greater Taung Local Municipality and Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati District Municipality to restore reliable and sustainable water services to the affected communities.

“We will have a ministerial briefing at Greater Taung Local Municipality Political Boardroom from 9am – 10am before we embark on an oversight visit at Pudimoe WTW In Ward 5. We will then have a community engagement programme at Dryharts Tribal Office from 12pm to 1pm,” said Seitlholo.
