Court orders Masisi’s sister & Co to ‘unlock’ water supply :: Mmegi Online

Justice Dr Ookeditse Maphakwane of the Lobatse High Court has ordered G&M Building Services (Pty) Ltd, owned by former president Mokgweetsi Masisi’s sister, Boitumelo Phadi- Mmutle and Tianyuan Construction (Pty) Ltd Joint Venture to unlock Water Utilities Corporation (WUC) chambers which distribute water to villages in the Goodhope District area.

The JV had, in protest, locked up chambers for the project termed Goodhope District water supply Scheme 2.2. awarded for P549.6 million.

WUC, through attorneys, Otto Itumeleng Law Chambers, had dragged the JV (first respondent) and the project manager, Kelebogile Monnaatshipi (second respondent), before the court after the contractor shut down the water supply to some villages in the Borolong area by shutting and putting padlocks on 15 chambers supplying water to 15 villages in the area.
