AB  - This study examines the factors affecting water governance and water access by households in
Mahikeng, particularly focusing on two study areas, Rooigrond and Dihatshwane villages. A well-structured
questionnaire was utilised to collect data from 70 households. Multiple regression analysis was utilised to
determine the significance of the factors which affect water governance and utilisation. The study identifies the
main water sources that supply water to Mahikeng. It further identified the types of water sources used to access
the water supplied. Findings show that distance and transport used to reach the water source are statistically
significant with water access. Furthermore, the findings also outline the challenges that led to poor water
governance in Mahikeng.
