On August 27, 2022, the Inkomati-Usuthu Catchment Management Agency (IUCMA) handed over two boreholes to the communities of Phola (ward 05) and Makgarule (ward 06) in the City of Mbombela.
The boreholes are part of the IUCMA’s Corporate and Social Investment (CSI) programme which seeks to uplift the socio-economic conditions of communities within the Inkomati-Usuthu Water Management Area. The initiative was also in line with the Sustainable Development Goal (SGD) no. 6 which provides that everyone must have access to clean drinking water.
