The community of Maokeng in Kroonstad
The residents went on service delivery protests this week, following three weeks of a water supply cuts in the area.“Our problem is that this is the third week without water. We are going into week four. We can’t do much. We cant eat’, we can’t bathe. It is stinking. The toilets inside our houses are even worse. We don’t know what we are supposed to do. Even the water trucks discriminate us when they come this side. We keep chasing after trucks for water.
The municipality blames load-shedding and load reduction implemented by Eskom, for the continued water cuts around the area. “In Maokeng, the loadshedding is not the cause, because remember this council was put into office on the 3rd of November last year. We’re hardly a year into office and we found load shedding here, so we can’t be dilly darling, making excuses about load shedding now.”
