Sisulu pleads with protesters to end violent protests over water service provider

The municipality opted to partner with Umgeni Water to “rehabilitate all the rundown schemes and provide high quality water to all communities”.

“As the minister with oversight on water and allied services, it is my greatest wish and desire that those who have instigated and are perpetuating the abhorrent actions of road blockades, protests and sabotage of infrastructure that delivers water to some communities in King Cetshwayo District will stop, pause for a moment and think about the consequence of what they have resorted to. Innocent lives are being put at risk because of their actions,” Sisulu said.

“It is through the vision of sustainable water services delivery to all that Umgeni Water has signed a service level agreement with the King Cetshwayo District Municipality. Umgeni Water will begin operating and managing secondary bulk potable schemes from October and will supply water to the municipality.
