Water remains a problem in areas that fall under Moretele Local Municipality.
Despite several memorandums submitted to the Municipality, areas such as Makapanstad, Mathibestad, Dirtig and surrounding areas have been without water for the past eight to nine months on their tapes.
Water supply from the Municipality through water tanks is also a problem because residents have to wait for weeks for the truck to arrive. Residents are also concerned with the cleanliness of the water they gather from water trucks because dust get into their buckets while waiting to fill up and that his might have an impact on their health.
Kabelo Morutlwa, from Makapanstad said recently residents organised protest action and hoped that the Municipality will respond to their call but this has also fallen on deaf ears.
Another residents, Lesego Sekhobela, said the service rendered by the Municipality is unsatisfactory. “They make commitments and end up not keeping their promise,” she said.
