Residents from various villages surrounding Indwe in the Eastern Cape brought the small town to a complete standstill. They are protesting against poor service delivery.

Water supply is the biggest challenge they face. They said they often went months without water.

“We have spilling drains that are spilling all over the surroundings. We have a small clinic that is serving a huge population. We have this kind of water that we’re drinking. They say they have a problem with the engine there at water works. So, we want them to buy the engine for us to pump water for all communities to get clean water here,” Community leader, Sithembele Nuse.

Residents say they are often told about budget constraints when they complain. Local and provincial government officials came to address the protesters.

But they voted for the party in charge...? They should not complain, it was their choice... Vote differently next time, or go destroy the houses of the elected officials not doing the jobs they were voted in for. They will either step up, or bail out. Either way is good...
