“We requested another one billion and then it moves to 4.2 billion. That amount meant we must finish Nandoni to Nsami, we must also finish the Giyani water services connecting with the reservoirs so that Mopani can start with reticulations. What it also included is R600 million that is needed to increase the capacity of Nandoni water treatment works.”The water project has been delayed for over 14 years due to allegations of corruption and mismanagement of funds.
