Local Chief Local business community (representative number) Local NGO community 5.6Summary of stakeholder inputs Name of Stakeholder Concerns Suggested Solution ZINWA’s Comment Vision Lupane ADP Erratic water supply mostly affected by power cuts and therefore it’s not reliable Will ZINWA afford consistency water supply ZINWA must have technical personnel that will regularly monitor the quality of water. will monitor the water quality daily, at the treatment plant, reservoirs and at the furthest consumer. Full hydrochemical tests will be done once a month. Consumers may not cope up with rates ZINWA must be prepared to a reliable service provider Noted. Lupane Board Poor water supply Areas situated on uneven gradient and loose Kalahari sands which are easily washed by drained water Importation of foreign soils for example gravel. This has been rectified for the treatment plant which was founded below ground level and by the use of masonry for slope stability.
Some areas are not reticulated Straying of Domestic Animals to the project Fencing of the site The treatment plant will be fenced off. The project involves reticulation extensions. R.S Dube Business Centre Receive water twice a week for few hours and that is not enough Engage the community Current shortages will be addressed by the more reliable 240m3/hr plant and increased storage. District Administrator The system is inconsistent There is little land clearance and forestry All leakages must be efficiently managed Leak detection equipment is part of the planned works. Some areas (houses) do not receive water Leakages must be managed properly in the future Land reclamation must be allowed in case/ clearance Noted. All reasonable efforts will be made for reclamation. are no reservoirs to support future infrastructure development Employment creation Proper management must be done on all materials being in the process 1000m3 and 2280m3 are being built in this project. ZINWA will monitor and manage all waste (from the project) properly Population boom as a result operational Government complex and Lupane State University will not be supplied adequately Water supply will improve hence built infrastructure Current shortages will be addressed by the more reliable 240m3/hr plant and increased storage. The project must be managed by the Local Authority Authority has no capacity to handle the project. Senzeni Stand No. 403 New Stands Receiving water daily These stands are not facing water challenges. Facing no problem and it seems it’s now 100 % Z.R.P Lupane Supply is erratic No concerns Not applicable Current shortages will be addressed by the more reliable plant and increased storage.
Every time there is electricity failure, there is no water supply Once water reticulation project is complete, development projects in the new stands will be less costly compared to the current situation as water will be available The project implementation should have storage tanks in case there is no electricity and must ensure that all leakages along the pipe line are plugged in time 1000m3 and 2280m3 are being built in this project. Leak detection equipment is part of the planned works. Hygiene and sanitation will improve as people access flush toilets in the new stands Have a standby generator in case of emergency Given the size of the plant, a generator will not be economic. ZINWA to engage ZETDC on a dedicated power line. Lupane University Current water supply is inadequate, affected by pump breakdowns. Use of boreholes should be plan “B”. LSU intends to bring at least 5000 students, 800 staff. Land clearance and vegetation. Lack of raw water for agriculture, crop production and animal breeding. Minimise the land and vegetation clearance. Supply of raw water to the institution from the dam. ZINWA has included a raw water pipeline in the BOQ. Reasonable care will be taken to limit vegetation clearing for reticulation mains. The stakeholder consultation process for Lupane involved interviews with the following key stakeholders: Mr. Dube - Technician, Lupane Local Board Mr. Roy Moyo - Acting CEO, Lupane Local Board ZINWA Business community Residents As in the other centers, residents were selected from both areas i.e. those connected and those not connected. The questionnaire guide was used to elicit for information.
