UMkhanyakude District Municipality has successfully completed repairs at the Vumbe Borehole Scheme under Ward 14, Big 5 Hlabisa Local Municipality.
A new pump (1.5kW, 230v) was installed on 14 September 2026. The borehole has been non-operational for two years.
The scheme has now been converted from generator to Eskom power, which will enable the community to have water 24 hours a day.
This intervention will bring much-needed relief to the Vumbe community and ensure sustainable water supply.
