KwaNobuhle is a large township on the outskirts of Kariega in the Eastern Cape province of the Republic of South Africa.

Water supply[]

KwaNobuhle has been one of the townships in the region that have experienced problems with disrupted water supply[2][3] or water restrictions during droughts due low levels in the Kouga Dam and . Completion of the Nooitgedacht water scheme, implemented by Amatola Water and financed by the Department of Water and Sanitation is seen as a way to alleviate these problems.[4]
