Mpumalanga farm labourers get free services

Farm labourers in Mpumalanga can look forward to free water and electricity in the near future. Local government and Housing MEC Jabu Mahlangu says a feasibility study will be carried out to see how municipalities could provide free basic services to labourers. He says these services, which are already being provided to townships and households in other settlements, include six thousand litres of free water and 50 kilowatts of free electricity per household per month. Speaking during his budget speech, Mahlangu added that more than three million rands would be set aside to assist struggling municipalities to provide clean and safe water this year.
