Today, Minister Pemmy Majodina and I conducted an oversight visit to the Mokolo-Crocodile Water Augmentation Project Phase 2 in Limpopo.
This R19.7 billion strategic infrastructure project, which entails the transfer of raw water through an approximately 140km pipeline from Thabazimbi to Lephalale, remains critical to ensuring long-term water security and unlocking the economic potential of the Waterberg District.
Our responsibility is to ensure that projects of this magnitude are implemented with the necessary urgency, efficiency and accountability.
Upon completion, the project will augment water supply to key strategic industries, including Eskom’s Medupi and Matimba power stations, Exxaro’s Grootgeluk Mine and other commercial and industrial users.
Water is a catalyst for socio-economic development. As government, we remain resolute in our commitment to accelerating infrastructure delivery, securing our water resources and advancing the transformation of our economy in the interests of our people.
The purpose of the oversight visit was to assess progress on the strategic water infrastructure project, which is critical to strengthening long-term water security and supporting economic and industrial activity in the Waterberg District Municipality.
