The organisation said in a statement that it did not have a disagreement with the Makhanda municipality‚ saying it had “been excellent”. The issue appeared to rest with the department of water and sanitation‚ which the organisation said has not paid for services rendered. However, the department disagrees with this assessment.

The Gift of the Givers says the municipality asked for its help to restore the water supply in February. The NGO drew up a rescue plan‚ advised that it would cost about R23m to solve the water crisis, and that this would require government funding. The NGO brought in a specialist hydrologist to drill boreholes where the geology was difficult and finding water was a challenge.
