Uniting for Water: Mogalakwena Local Municipality’s Collaborative Approach to Service Delivery (2021 – 2024)

Water loss was a major issue in Mogalakwena, with 56.6% of water lost due to leaks and inefficiencies. Aging infrastructure and poor inventory management exacerbated the problem.

In a country as water scarce as South Africa, every drop counts. But in Moses Kotane Local Municipality, providing clean, safe water to communities is a daily struggle.

Thabazimbi Local Municipality (TZLM) faces significant challenges in wastewater management, these challenges include outdated infrastructure, non-functional treatment plants, and a lack of operational support.

Mogalakwena Local Municipality relies on boreholes to supply water to rural and peri-urban areas.

Moses Kotane Local Municipality (MKLM) is a largely rural municipality with 107 dispersed villages that are largely dependent on boreholes for water access.

In the Mogalakwena Local Municipality, the traditional authorities (TAs) of Mapela and of Mokopane collectively guide the growth of about 44 villages around the Mogalakwena mine.
