Community members, who were

Residents from Budeli and Mutoti villages met with parliamentarians from portfolio committees on Human Settlement, Water, and Sanitation as well as officials from the Traditional Affairs at the Vhembe district municipality. The three committees are on a two-day oversight visit in Limpopo to monitor the progress of the multi-billion rand Nandoni to Nsami bulk water project.

“No compensation is coming towards us. Please can we have those funds or please can we have access to the water that has been put down or that has been used while they are using our farms in order for each and everyone of us to have water? How come don’t we have water whereas we are staying at a place that has water? If that is the case and they cannot be able to compensate us we will have to open the dam. We open the dam and let the water flow so that we can have our farms and be able to farm.
