Mayor Khunjuzwa Kekana made the declaration earlier this week following months of a severe drought and water shortages due to dwindling dam levels.
CAPE TOWN - Humanitarian aid group Gift of the Givers said the Sarah Baartman District Municipality in the Eastern Cape being declared a local state of disaster has been long overdue.
The organisation has been assisting residents in Makhanda formerly known as Grahamstown with bottled water to provide some relief. Gift of the Givers' Imtiaz Sooliman said: “We’ve been in the area for almost three weeks now and we can see how patient residents have been. The water we bring has made a difference but is minimal to what is needed.”
