Boreholes bring hope
Capricorn Review
|June 18, 2025
COMMUNITIES from several rural villages under the Tshikonelo Tribal Authority are finally experiencing relief after enduring extended water shortages.
The Vhembe District Municipality recently drilled two boreholes and installed supporting infrastructure, including a transformer, water reticulation connected to an existing 450-kilolitre steel tank, and a newly built 350-kiloliter concrete tank.
For residents of villages such as Phalathonga, Tshiawelo, Hamadadzhe and Mauluma, the official handover of the two boreholes on June 6 marked a long-awaited moment when clean water from taps has become a reality after years of relying on unsafe sources and living in constant water scarcity.
