16 September 2025- The Ngaka Modiri Molema District Municipality said it has officially launched a R106m water reticulation project in Borakalalo village, near Zeerust. The municipality said the project forms part of its mandate to provide basic water and sanitation services to rural communities, while ensuring that all other households have access to adequate water supply.
Speaking at the handover of the contractor, the executive mayor, Khumalo Molefe said this project is a demonstration of their commitment to restoring dignity and improving the quality of life for their communities. Molefe said reliable access to water is not only a basic right, but also a foundation for economic and social development.
“The project will significantly improve access to clean and reliable water supply in Borakalalo, contributing to better living conditions and supporting local development initiatives.
“The municipality has appointed Dikwankwetla 213 (Pty) Ltd as a contractor for this project that will, amongst others, install yard connections to approximately 4000 ERFs of Borakalalo village,” he said.
