The standing committee on public accounts has demanded an investigation into a “water tankering” syndicate which targets desperate communities without water.
He asked whether the department was investigating or working with law enforcement agencies on probing “an organised crime or syndicate of water tanker providers who will go out of business if people received water directly from infrastructure that is there?” The DA’s Alfred Lees also questioned the department about malfeasance that took place in the provisions of water tankers in Amathole.
“The bottom line is that municipal services, with regards to basic provision of services, has declined and water and sanitation is not an exception. We now know that half of the municipalities around the country are underperforming or not performing at all when it comes to water and sanitation.”
