Whilst water is a basic right, the promise of access to this commodity as enshrined in the Constitution still rings hollow for many in the country.
Some communities in the Madibeng local municipality in the North West province still complain of little or no drinkable water.to assist the municipality to meet the increasing water demand. Officials say the more than R150 million project is now nearing completion.
“The situation is still the same as nine years ago and it’s worse when we have sick people, we can’t bath them,” a community member explains. The institution’s current administration claims the tide has turned while continuing to fail to meet its constitutional obligations of providing water to its people. It has now purchased its own fleet.
“The current upgrade is an additional 20mg per day from 60 to 80mg per day. The 60 is existing which is operated and maintained by Madibeng local municipality and they’re on 90% completion,” says North West Water & sanitation department’s John Ratombo.
