Farmers and communities in Mooiplaas, located north of Tses in the ||Kharas Region, are facing a critical water shortage due to the vandalism and deterioration of water infrastructure that dates back to the 1960s.

The Minister of Works and Transport, John Mutorwa, has underscored the crucial role the road network plays as a lifeline of communities. 

He said this while officiating at the opening of the recently rehabilitated portion of the Tses to !Gochas B1 road between Keetmanshoop and Mariental.
