Progress being made in long-delayed Giyani Water Intervention Programme
There has been progress on the Giyani Water Intervention Programme, in Mopani district, Limpopo, with completion expected in September 2025, Cabinet said on Thursday.
Currently 90.23% complete, the Giyani water services project includes the construction of 325 km of bulk pipelines from the Giyani water treatment works (GWTW) to service reservoirs that will supply water to 55 villages in Giyani and ancillaries.
Pressure testing and commissioning account for 90% of the remaining works.
A Cabinet brief outlined that 23 out of the 24 villages under the Giyani 55 Villages Reticulation Phase 1 now have reticulation and household connections.
The first phase entails reticulation and household metered connections to 24 of 55 villages.
Phase 2a, which involves the reticulation and metered household connections to 15 further villages, will be implemented in the 2025/26 financial year and Phase 2b, incorporating 16 more villages, will be implemented in the outer year of the medium-term expenditure framework.
The upgrade of the GWTW from 30-million litres a day to 40-million litres a day and the development of a number of well fields to ensure sufficient water supply to the 55 villages of Giyani, is still at planning stage and will be implemented in the third quarter of the current financial year.
This follows on previous significant interventions, including the refurbishment of the GWTW to restore its original production capacity to 30-million litres a day, after falling to 13-million to 17-million litres a day, was completed in June 2024.
Further, practically completed in December 2023 after becoming functional in April 2023, the Nandoni-Nsami bulk pipeline – a 40.5 km raw water pipeline from Nandoni dam in Vhembe – currently supplies the GWTW with an average of 15-million litres a day of raw water.
The completed projects have an estimated cost of R6-billion, funded by the Department of Water and Sanitation.
