The Project comprises:

Component 1: Moretele North Klipvoor Bulk Water Supply Scheme, which will address water supply deficit in Moretele Local Municipality of North West Province, and Bela- Bela, Modimolle- Mookgophong and Mogalakwena Local Municipalities of Limpopo Province; and

Component 2: Pilanesberg Bulk Water Supply Scheme, which will augment bulk water supply to Moses Kotane and Rustenburg Local Municipalities of North West Province.

The Project will supply additional 141 MLD of water to the six municipalities, clearing the current supply deficit of 117 MLD and partially cater for future demand growth. The Project will contribute to enhancing access to clean and reliable water for the households of Limpopo and North West Provinces, in line with the key objectives of the National Development Plan and the National Water and Sanitation Master Plan.

Magalies Water (“MW”) will take overall responsibility for implementation of the Project through a dedicated project management unit formed within its organizational structure.

Department of Water and Sanitation (“DWS”) will perform monitoring and oversight during Project implementation.

The implementation period of the Project is planned for 5 years.

The Project has been classified as Category B in accordance with the NDB Environment and Social Framework (“NDB ESF”).

Key environmental and social (“E&S”) impacts are associated with erosion and alteration of natural vegetation due to clearing of land for Project development, labour and social issues due to influx of workers for construction, and occupational health and safety risks during project implementation.

Adherence to country systems and implementation of E&S management plans, including the E&S Impact Management Plan, will minimize and mitigate these impacts. Upon successful implementation of these plans, the Project will meet the requirements of NDB ESF.

The Project is to be financed by NDB loan, funds from commercial lenders and counterpart funding from MW and DWS.
