According to Chris Hani District Municipality, the villages – Gqogqorha, Emdeni, Mahlubini Komkhulu, Mnyangula and Mmangobomvu – are expected to benefit from the Ncorha Bulk Water Project which will be completed at the end of 2020.
Spokesperson Thobeka Mqamelo said supply from existing boreholes in the area had significantly decreased. Water tankers are being used to transfer water to villages in Intsika Yethu Local Municipality. ‘’Within the month of October pumps will be installed and bulk pipeline from the borehole to the reservoir will also be installed ... This is a temporary arrangement since the area is running out of water,’’ said Mqamelo.
Villagers in Gqogqorha confirmed that there is a water tank for the community but they say it is dry and has not been filled since drought gripped the area.He said the drought has claimed the livestock of at least 27 households. Madoda Plaatjie, a pensioner and farmer, said he had lost 20 of his sheep and 40 of 90 lambs this year. He said his funds were now exhausted from trying to keep his stock alive.
This is saddening 😪
Our realization of drought has got to do with human'hand or action... There's no way nature can't provide itself with water in the name of rain... Monopoly capitalist is destroying the masses'their right to co-live n eventually they become enslaved period... 😢
Yeses
This is sad
