AB  - The study is investigated the impact of accountability mechanisms in enhancing municipal water&#xd;
service delivery at Bushbuckridge Local Municipality in Mpumalanga province. The issue of accountability and&#xd;
the supply of water services has been a major concern for more than two decades in the Bushbuckridge local&#xd;
municipality. Despite the fact that the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa (1996) provided the majority&#xd;
of South Africans optimism for a better life, the Bushbuckridge Local Municipality has been receiving orders&#xd;
from community members demanding adequate water delivery. The continual demonstrations protest by the&#xd;
community members shows that the municipality is failing to meet the demands of the communities. To this&#xd;
end, the study uses qualitative method to collect data for better understanding for the historical and current&#xd;
concerns about water scarcity in Bushbuckridge Local Municipality. Data collection was gathered from internal&#xd;
stakeholders that are municipal officials and external stakeholders which are BLM community members, ward&#xd;
committee members, ward councilors in ward 18 and 20. The researcher used face-to-face interviews, focus&#xd;
groups and semi structured questionnaires. This investigation could lead to future water-related solutions in&#xd;
Bushbuckridge Local Municipality.&#xd;
