The Department of Water and Sanitation has confirmed that work on the R12.3-billion Mokolo-Crocodile Water Augmentation Project Phase 2A (MCWAP-2A) project will not commence while there is an appeal against the project’s environmental impact assessment authorisation. In June, the Trans-Caledon Tunnel Authority announced that it had commenced with the implementation of MCWAP-2A, which is designed to transfer water largely to support mining and energy activities in the Limpopo province, including Eskom’s Medupi coal-fired power station.
