“There is no problem, it is man-made with the sole purpose of benefitting the corrupt officials and tenderpreneurs. We have a fire station in Lehurutshe which does not have water. More than R2.5 million was claimed to have been used in the fire station but they still do not have water, something is not right,” Mosothoane added.
“The truth is that the Ngaka Modiri Molema district municipality does not have the right people with the right skills to fix our water crisis. It is clear that corruption plays a big role because the service provider would buy and install a cylinder that does not last long which means that they go for cheaper things to have money to themselves.”“Before I became a councillor in this ward there were two water projects, one was worth 17 million and the other one was R26 million in 2019.
“The problem is that these companies paid to provide us with water are giving out 5% of the money they made out of the tender to a councillor. It then becomes difficult to hold those companies accountable because they have silenced the councillor with a stake of a tender,” Meleko said.
