'Mogalakwena local municipality is unable to provide water tanks to schools due to financial challenges. Total cost estimated to R7,621,938.32 per month for 66 schools,' the presentation stated.

Mogalakwena is one the five municipalities in the Waterberg district, where a total of 91 schools have been identified as needing adequate water supply to effectively deal with the devastating outbreak of novel Covid-19.In the presentation, Limpopo municipalities have been required to plan for provision of water to schools from the list of 524 schools submitted by the provincial department of education.

The PCC has recommended an urgent engagement to be held with Mogalakwena local municipality and the department on a funding plan. "The department of education should be responsible for the payment of all internal infrastructure for the provision of water and the department of education pays for the cost of water provided to schools," one of the PCC's recommendation stated.

"We advised the MEC for education Polly Boshielo to reopen schools in August because at the moment they are rushing to return learners to work. If we allow pupils to return to schools [now] we will be acting irresponsibly," he said.The presentation said Modimolle-Mookgophong plans were not yet submitted.

Gross incompetence. For years and years.

We can install sophisticated boreholes for those 66 schools at a reasonable price.
