There's water in KZN but it's not reaching the taps, say disgruntled community members: The water crisis in the south coast of KwaZulu-Natal is not due to water scarcity but lack of deliveries to households.
Zandile Ndovela from Esigazane said they had not received water since 2012, long before the April floods. She said that the only time taps were open for them was about the local government elections.
Noxolo Makha from Margate said Rey Nkonyeni local municipality was one of the municipalities known to be able to generate revenue through payment of rates, yet the government was not doing its part of providing services that they pay for. She said the lack of clean water was affecting other human rights too.
Residents pleaded for the supply of water tankers in the short term and creation of boreholes in the short-to-medium term. “Also when I look at what is being done to improve our water situation, I don’t see a push for courses that promote water cleaning and water treatment plants, so I’d like our government to focus on that to improve our water situation,” said Makha.
