Masisi's sister shuts down controversial Goodhope pipe

Friday, July 25, 2025 | 2050 Views |

Three years after being controversially awarded a P549.6 Million, former President, Mokgweetsi Masisi’s sister Boitumelo Phadi- Mmutle and her business partners have done the unthinkable, shutting down water supply to 15 villages in the Goodhope District.
