MATJHABENG LOCAL MUNICIPALITY
NOTICE TO RESIDENTS OF VENTERSBURG AND MMAMAHABANE
WATER SUPPLY UPDATE
17 MAY 2025

Dear Residents,
The Matjhabeng Local Municipality has been informed by VCW of progress made since the resumption of pumping last night. Water for Phomolong and Henneman will be restored by 08:00 this morning.
However, there are challenges experienced that will affect areas furthest to the trajectory, namely Mmamahabane and Ventersburg.

We anticipate that the entire water system will be fully recovered by Sunday morning.
Water tankers will be deployed in the affected areas until water is fully restored.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused and thank all residents for their patience and understanding.

Insights on Disaster Response and Community Restoration

Executive Mayor Khalipha Welcomes Mogale City Delegation to Share Insights on Disaster Response and Community Restoration
In a significant gesture of solidarity and knowledge exchange, the Executive Mayor of Matjhabeng Local Municipality, Cllr. Thanduxolo Khalipha, today welcomed a delegation from Mogale City comprising Ward Councillors and officials from the Institute for Social Dialogue....

The purpose of the engagement was to facilitate a collaborative session addressing the ongoing human settlement challenges in Nyakallong, particularly the disaster-stricken Voël Pan area.
The Mogale City delegation shared their firsthand experience in managing a comparable disaster in Swanneville—an area that, much like Nyakallong, faced socio-environmental crises affecting housing, basic services, and human dignity.
Through a comprehensive presentation, the delegation outlined the steps they took to stabilise the situation in Swanneville, emphasising community dialogue, intergovernmental support, and rapid response mechanisms.

The session, attended by the Acting Member of the Mayoral Committee (MMC) for Infrastructure and the Executive Director for Infrastructure, provided a platform for robust discussion and learning.
The Mogale delegation reiterated their commitment to supporting Matjhabeng Municipality’s efforts in restoring safe and dignified living conditions in Nyakallong, offering to share technical expertise, stakeholder engagement models, and community mobilization tools.

Executive Mayor Khalipha expressed his appreciation for the solidarity shown by Mogale City and acknowledged the value of shared municipal learning in tackling such complex human settlement issues. He reaffirmed Matjhabeng’s dedication to resolving the Nyakallong disaster—particularly the Voël Pan area—which has been officially recognized as a humanitarian concern and a severe violation of residents’ dignity and rights.
The engagement was also attended by the local ward councillors directly affected by the Voël Pan situation, accompanied by their ward committee members, and representatives of the affected households.
Their presence underscored the importance of inclusive dialogue that places community voices at the center of sustainable recovery efforts.
