Water supply in Moshana is currently adequate and therefore there is no need to supply the village from Dilokwana/Gasegogwane wellfields.

This was said by Assistant Minister of Local Government and Rural Development, Mr Mabuse Pule in response to a question in Parliament recently.

Mr Pule, who was responding on behalf of Minister of Lands and Water Affairs, said Moshana was supplied with adequate water from borehole BH7934.

Mr Pule said water supply reached all reticulated areas in the village, adding however that there were new layouts with no water reticulations. “Water in this new layout is accessed through standpipes,” he said.

He indicated that water demand for the village was 1.7 mega litres per month against the average supply of 4.4 mega litres per month.

Mr Pule further said boreholes near Moshana supplied Kanye/Moshupa and Pitseng villages and the five boreholes situated at Dilokwana/Gasegogwane wellfields supplied Kanye and Polokwane villages while Moshupa was also supplied from the same boreholes when supply from the North-South Carrier scheme was interrupted.

“BH8251 borehole is also available and is currently supplying Pitseng with Ralekgetho planned for connection upon completion of the Pitseng-Ralekgetho water supply scheme during the 2022/2023 financial year,” he added.

He explained that the borehole next to Modisi Primary School was not in use because it was polluted.

Member of Parliament for Kanye North, Mr Thapelo Letsholo had indicated that there was intermittent supply of water in Moshana.

Mr Letsholo also asked the minister to inform Parliament of boreholes around the village and if it would be prioritised for supply from those boreholes. ends
