The Prime Minister expressed his optimism, citing the success of the World Vision led Mpolonjeni project, where residents now have access to safe water within a 30-minute walk from their homes. He emphasized the government’s commitment to scaling this model across the country, ensuring that more communities benefit from similar initiatives.
