Mchunu commits to fully restore water at KwaXimba in KZN - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports,

Minister of Water and Sanitation Senzo Mchunu has committed to fully restoring the water supply in KwaXimba, west of Durban by the end of April.

“I don’t even have water in my house, this needs to be addressed quickly because I don’t understand why we don’t have water in the area. We must all receive water regardless of political affiliation,” says Inkosi Simingaye Mlaba, KwaXimba traditional leader. During, the tense meeting between the locals and officials, many spoke of difficulty of living without water. Residents claimed that they had been without water for years and were only relying on unreliable water tankers.

“I have been without water since 2013, can the officials stop what they are doing to us. They switch on and off the water as they want,” another resident said.
