The situation as regards the rendering of the sanitation function is somewhat similar in that for NP362 (Lephalale Municipality) and NP367 (Mogalakwena Municipality), the revenue generated from the service is less than the expenditure incuured in rendering it.
For NP362 (Lephalale Municipality) and NP367 (Mogalakwena Municipality) there are severe backlogs in the access to water and sanitation services; it would, however be an oversimplification to indicate that these backlogs are a result of the high presence of rural households.
What is true, however, is that the number of rural households in both Lephalale Municipality and Mogalakwena Municipality is far greater than is the case in Mookgopong Municipality.
