What we know
Villagers at Setlhabaneng and Sebonelo villages outside Mahikeng in the North West say democracy remains an empty promise, as they continue to face severe water shortages. Despite living right next to the Disaneng Dam, residents are forced to buy water or rely on donkey-drawn carts to fetch water.
