Residents furious with Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality as water runs out and leaks go unfixed | News24

Joseph ChirumeNelson Mandela Bay is facing a water shortage exacerbated by leaks.An organisation called the Nelson Mandela Bay Water Crisis Committee wants government to answer to the Human Rights Commission.

Bongani Makhubelo lives in the area. He says the water comes from a burst pipe and flows down the entire street before it enters a drain. The stream that has been created is about two kilometres. This particular leak started on Sunday, but it’s not the first time this has happened."This is clean water and it is being wasted," Makhubelo says.

Municipality spokesperson Mthubanzi Mniki told GroundUp that the municipality was increasing its capacity to reduce leaks by"bringing in several plumbers". "The municipality’s poor management, failing infrastructure, and increasing demand for consumption are the key factors for the rapid disintegration of our water system. In essence, we gave control of perhaps our most valuable resource for survival, our water, to a gang of inept criminals known as the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality.
