Umkhanyakude District Mayor Cllr Siphile Mdaka together with Deputy Minister of Water and Sanitation Hon. David Mahlobo and Inkosi Mngomezulu, officially handed over the completed water project for the Nkungwini area in Jozini.
The project will benefit the communities of Ngonyameni, Dedefane, Oshabeni and Dinabanye in Ward 18 restoring reliable and sustainable water supply to 880 households that have endured water challenges for far too long.
Mayor Mdaka led the programme, which was implemented by uMngeni-uThukela Water as part of the District's accelerated programme to revitalise old and dysfunctional schemes in far-flung rural areas.
Scope of work completed includes new boreholes with reservoirs, communal standpipes, electrification of boreholes, concrete pump houses and security fencing around borehole sites.
