Ebrahim Soomar said the water came from the earth and was therefore not his, hence he has opted to share the scarce resource.
On Friday the municipality said residents could expect continued intermittent water supply throughout the day as the Emerald Hill reservoir ran dry. Soomar has been helping the community with water for more than four years and said his ultimate dream was to put up tanks to catch more water and store it to provide for communities on an even larger scale.
Concerning Soomar, he said: “I once asked uncle how I can repay him and [he] said he wants no payment and that he would get his reward from God.Ravisie Adams also lives nearby and said she was grateful to Soomar because she had no transport to get to the water tanks and would not have been able to carry the containers.
Herbert Hurd Primary School principal Glen Harris said they had to send pupils home because they were unable to operate as normal without water in light of Covid-19 protocols.
