EXECUTIVE MAYOR INTRODUCES A CONTRACTOR FOR WATER RETICULATION IN ZAVA
Mopani District Municipality’s Executive Mayor Cllr P**e Shayi has earlier today introduced the service provider who will begin with work of water reticulation in the village of Zava, Ward 28 of Greater Giyani Municipality.
Speaking during the stakeholder engagement session at the Zava community hall, the Executive Mayor said part of the scope of work from the R5,4 million project include reticulation, and also upgrading from the communal taps to yard connections, benefiting at least 1042 households.
The Executive Mayor appealed to community stakeholders to support the project to ensure its completion within the set timeframe of 6 months. “Let’s give maximum support to this contractor to ensure that we complete the project before end of December."
The contract value is less than R30 million which means the contractor is not compelled to sub-contract 30% of the work, but the Executive Mayor said opportunities may still be available for small businesses to benefit from this project. “There may be opportunities for local businesspeople people to supply material, do work around trench excavation and construction of valve boxes. Details around this will be communicated when the contractor meets with the community next week.”
Michael Ngobeni representing the school governing bodies in the area said the project will bring relief not only to parents, but also to learners who had the burden of travelling long distance to fetch water. “With water at home, our learners will have time to focus on their school work. So, we are happy and grateful as the school governing for this project,” he said.
