Buthane was speaking during the debate on the State of the Province Address. “Limpopo as you prefer to call it our beautiful province, we will not be beautiful until all potholes are repaired until the people of Moutse and Thohoyandou get clean water in their yards. Residents of Giyani are suffering many years after R4 billion of public funds was wasted through Lepelle northern water, paid to Khathu civils which failed to deliver on the project and no action was taken to recover the money.
