PURPOSE, VISION, VALUES

Purpose

Improving lives through water – enhancing the quality of life where we work and live.

Vision

To be a strategic infrastructure partner in the development, implementation and operation of sustainable economic expansion in the regions we operate in.

Mission

To support regional economic growth by providing bulk raw water to our members and stakeholders, enabling water utility providers to supply potable water, and constructing regional linear and utility infrastructure based on proven principles in a cost-effective, efficient, sustainable, responsible and timely manner.

Values

  • Safety: We instil a culture of safety first that underpins all our activities;
  • Collaboration: We work closely with our stakeholders to reach collective goals;
  • Integrity: We are open, honest and ethical in our actions, doing the right thing even when no-one is watching;
  • Empowerment: We enable people to reach their full potential; and
  • Sustainability: We manage our resources in line with environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles so that we meet our present needs without compromising the needs of future generations.

WHO WE ARE

The Badirammogo Water User Association (BWUA), formerly known as Lebalelo, was established in 2002 to supply bulk raw water to both mines, in the Eastern Limb of the Bushveld Igneous Complex in Limpopo, South Africa, and to doorstep communities through the Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS). BWUA is a 50:50 public-private collaboration between Commercial Members (mines and industrial water users) and Institutional Members (represented by DWS).

Upon the gazetting of BWUA’s amended Constitution on 16 May 2025, the Association’s name officially changed to Badirammogo from Lebalelo. This change goes beyond a simple rebrand – it brings a broadened membership base and marks a distinct shift in our vision, mission and mandate, while staying true to our singular purpose, which is ‘improving lives through water’.
