She asked what could be the reason since she is never home during the day and sells her scones in the CBD.

She added: “I am not going to vote. I don’t have water. My bill is R35 000. To prevent covid-19 we were advised to wash our hands yet we don’t have water.”“We buy water from locals with boreholes, we pay R5 for 5 litres and when you don’t have money you can’t get water.
