SCOPING REPORT: DMRE OVERSIGHT VISIT – SLP WATER SUPPLY PROJECTS (SOUTH 32 HMM)
The Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE) conducted an oversight visit to assess the implementation of Social and Labour Plan (SLP) commitments by South 32 Hotazel Manganese Mines (HMM) relating to water supply interventions in the Mothibistad area. The visit focused on infrastructure developed to restore and improve water security for local communities. Key sites inspected included three refurbished production boreholes located in Seoding and the Seoding booster pumpstation, which forms a critical component of the bulk water distribution system. The purpose of the visit was to verify the extent of implementation, operational status of the infrastructure, and alignment of the delivered works with SLP commitments. During the inspection, it was confirmed that the refurbished boreholes are fully operational and contributing significantly to the bulk water supply, with the intervention adding approximately 21 litres per second (l/s) or 907 200 litres per day to the system. The conversion of boreholes from diesel to electrical operation has improved efficiency, reliability, and sustainability of supply. The Ga-Segonyana Local Municipality, as the direct beneficiary, provided testimony on the positive impact of the project, noting that water availability has improved from below 45% to approximately 85%, with the Mothibistad reservoir now consistently reaching full capacity. The municipality further highlighted that while bulk supply has been stabilized, residual challenges remain within the internal distribution network, where aging and blocked pipelines require upgrading to fully realize the benefits of the SLP investment.

ASSMANG KHUMANI MINE OFFICIALLY COMPLETES ITS SLP4 PROJECT
Assmang Khumani Iron Ore Mine has officially handed over the Social and Labour Plan (SLP 4) Project to Ga-Segonyana Local Municipality. This important initiative focused on the refurbishment of existing non-functioning water boreholes identified by the Northern Cape Department of Water and Sanitation within the Ga-Segonyana municipal area. The project was initiated to improve access to reliable water supply for communities by restoring critical borehole infrastructure. However, the Municipality regrets to report that the project has been severely impacted by ongoing acts of vandalism and theft at various borehole sites. Incidents reported include the theft of electrical cables, control panels, and pump motors—often occurring shortly after installation. The continuous removal and damage of these essential components have significantly compromised the functionality of the boreholes, directly affecting water provision to residents. The Municipality strongly condemns these criminal acts, which not only delay service delivery but also place additional financial strain on resources intended to benefit the community. Such actions undermine efforts to ensure sustainable and reliable water access for all. Members of the public are urgently called upon to work in partnership with the Municipality to safeguard this critical infrastructures. Community vigilance and cooperation are essential in preventing further damage and ensuring that these facilities continue to serve their intended purpose. Residents are encouraged to report any suspicious activities related to vandalism or theft of infrastructure to the relevant authorities without delay. Protecting public infrastructure is a shared responsibility, and these facilities are vital for the well-being and development of our communities. Ga-Segonyana Local Municipality remains committed to improving service delivery and calls on all stakeholders to play an active role in preserving these essential resources.
