Molepolole pipeline sparks hope for water

When responding to the 2026 Budget Speech on Friday, the water shortage in and around Molepolole is worrisome.

He noted that the project brings renewed hope to the community, which has struggled with an inconsistent water supply. However, he emphasised that whilst development projects are welcome, they must be completed on time and within the approved budget. According to him, timely delivery and cost control are essential to ensuring that communities fully benefit from government initiatives. Furthermore, Monageng highlighted the urgent need for proper stormwater drainage systems. He explained that during the rainy season, movement becomes extremely difficult in parts of Molepolole, particularly in areas such as Gantshonyane. Therefore, he stressed that infrastructure development should not only focus on water supply but also address drainage challenges to improve accessibility and living conditions for residents.
