At my Buvuki you ANC dug trenches, installed a reservoir , piped the land to households and put taps but no water, now you promise water tankers, and what about the white elephant infrastructure I just mentioned? What is good for us is for Boers to bring back our land.

Wow so it took Cori cori to arrive in SA for our ppl to be supplied with water tanks 🤔🤔🤔

Thank you coronavirus for fastracking service delivery to the poor lindiwesisulusa and her governmentza we know you start acting when its election times.

Why only now. We've been long starving from thirst

Self quarantine is a joke. Self quarantine is a threat to everyone. Any time confirmed infected person under self quarantine can easily abandon it and go out to spread the virus to others. FightCOVID19 coronavirus

since 21dayslockdown i didn't see even 1single police in the road only ppl moving around drinking beers i won't be surprised even the water won't reach us Tzaneen Limpopo

What stopped them to do it all along?

Whoever trusts what this so called politician says is a fool.

So government already had the capacity and the know how to do this but for some reason didn’t

I hope that this information is accurate . So, we stay at home and drink from taps, municipal water, is it being cleaned differently to clean COVID 19 from stools and piss? Etc? Let us know what is going on...🙏🏿
