The Department of Water and Sanitation in the province promised to put in pipes to take water to the people in 2008.
“I don’t even believe that this project will finish any time soon.”
“Ever since I can remember, the government has been digging trenches and promising us water. It has not happened, and now that the elections are coming they want to dupe us. I’m not voting for anyone.” Acting Sekhukhune District Municipality mayor on the day, Mbusi Mahlangu, promised the community that they would receive water running from their taps within two to three weeks.
The department’s acting provincial head, Thivhonali Masindi, decried illegal connections and vandalism for the delays.
