Despite a shortage of chlorine, which is used to purify drinking water, the City of Cape Town is likely to receive some supplies on Thursday, preventing it from running out.
NCP Chlorchem, headquartered in Kempton Park in Gauteng, supplies the City of Cape Town. It has faced a double whammy of delays in obtaining imported raw materials due to infrastructure problems at KwaZulu-Natal ports, as well as electricity problems at its plant.
"We did have some hiccups and ran close to empty this time around, but our teams on site are working through the night and doing all possible to get to a higher level of production. We seem to be back to normal levels again now," the company's managing director Andre Harding said on Wednesday afternoon.
