Steenhuisen slams 'out-of-touch' Ramaphosa over water quality issues amid cholera outbreak: DA leader John Steenhuisen said Ramaphosa's denial of the water crisis was a greater risk than load-shedding.
Steenhuisen said the president cannot afford to bury his head in the sand on the state of the country's water, and the official opposition party will embark on a national oversight campaign to address the crisis.The Green and Blue Drop reports, from which the presidential newsletter cites various figures, also provides a damning indictment on the state of drinking water in South Africa which has dangerously declined under ANC governments across the country.
“This would mean that close to half of drinking water systems in the country are at serious risk of collapse and pose a potentially mortal threat to the nation through the spread of disease and illness.
