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.

Nearly fifty years ago the International Committee of Onomastic Sciences (ICOS) came into being. This body has held fifteen triennial international congresses to date, the most recent being in Leipzig in 1984. With its headquarters in Louvain, Belgium, it publishes a bibliographical and information periodical, Onoma, an indispensable aid to researchers. Since 1967 the United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names (UNGEGN) has provided for co-ordination and liaison between countries to further the standardization of geographical names. To date eleven working sessions and four international conferences have been held. In most countries of the world there are institutes and centres for onomastic research, official bodies for the national standardization of place names, and names societies.
