MKP MP Carol Mafagane
The uMkhonto weSizwe Party has written to the National Assembly Speaker, Thoko Didiza, requesting a debate in Parliament, regarding the water crisis in the country.
The party says residents across the country face dry taps and polluted water.
The MK Party member of the National Assembly, Carol Mafagane says they want government to prioritise the water crisis in South Africa.
“The ongoing crisis with water affects every man and woman , you cannot go to school or live in a house where you’re not sure how safe the water is, there’s sewer spillage in most of our dams as a result of aged infrastructure.”
“The GNU has done nothing to upgrade infrastructure. Another thing affecting us is the water mafias. They’re linked to political principle, not acting on their own, they’re acting as a result of a tender system,” adds Mafagane.
Today, residents of Melville say they will shut down the area after they have been without water for two weeks.
