The estimated cost of R1 941 894 392 provided in my reply to question 34 was for the entire Driefontein Bulk Water Supply Scheme. The project in question (i.e. Ladysmith (Spioenkop) Bulk Water Supply Scheme) constitutes a third phase of the project. The breakdown is as follows:
Driefontein Bulk Complex – Phase 1 |
Driefontein (Hobsland-Indaka) Bulk Water Scheme – Phase 2 |
Spioenkop-Ladysmith Bulk Water Supply Scheme – Phase 3 |

No payments have been made on the Spioenkop-Ladysmith Bulk Water Supply Scheme because the project is still in the feasibility study phase which Umgeni Water undertook to fund from its own coffers.
