WUC leaves Jwaneng-Mabutsane thirsty

Wednesday, March 13, 2024 | 700 Views |

The Minister of Lands and Water Affairs, Kefentse Mzwinila, has disclosed that the Water Utilities Corporation (WUC) has terminated water supply to over 5,000 homes in the Jwaneng Mabutsane constituency due to a debt exceeding P11 million.

Similar to challenges faced in various constituencies nationwide, Mzwinila emphasised that WUC encountered difficulties with customers neglecting their water bill payments. Despite offering a waiver, the only viable solution to curb the escalating bill from the people of Jwaneng Mabutsane was to disconnect the water supply to these homes.

“A total of 5,071 plots have been disconnected in the Jwaneng-Mabutsane constituency from 2019 to date. Still, with this, during the State of Public Emergency (SPE) and the four-month grace period after the SPE, no disconnections were effected. The WUC commenced disconnections in February 2022,” he stated.
