Justice Terrence Rannowane has reserved judgment in the case in which 115 residents of Ranyane are demanding the restoration of a borehole and want Ipelegeng drought relief services in their area.

Led by Hebee Karakus, the applicants are complaining about the manner in which the decision and procedure were done. They have engaged attorneys, Onalethata Kambai and Joram Matomela, to argue on their behalf. Kambai submitted that the respondent, the Gantsi District Council (GDC), has operated the borehole for many years. He said the engine was removed in 2011 and returned in 2012.

“The council is now not providing diesel or maintenance of the engine. There was no consultation and meeting with the residents. It was an arbitrary decision and in the papers, the respondent failed to attach a resolution,” he submitted. He added that water is a prerequisite to enjoyment of human life. He also said the reasoning that the borehole was terminated because it was dominated by Tswana speaking people violated the Constitution.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
