Councillors in the Bobirwa Sub-district are happy that construction of a water pipeline to supply new plots at Malepane ward with water started last month.

Malepane is a new residential ward in Bobonong.

Bobirwa Sub-district roads engineer, Mr Ezekiel Gideon, told councillors during a tour of Malepane on Tuesday that the project was scheduled to be completed in 10 weeks. 

He said the project would use a big water pipe as the area sat on high ground and therefore required a lot of pumping pressure.

He stated that the tender for the project had been awarded to a citizen contractor.

The councillors also toured 17 houses, which were constructed for people who were affected by heavy storms last year at the tune of P765 000.

Council secretary, Ms Gomolemo Moepeng, said the council decided to also construct houses for the family of a Mabumahibidu Primary School pupil who lost her life during a natural disaster last year. Ends
