On Friday, about 100 people, under the banner of the Inyanda National Land Movement, marched to the COGTA provincial office in Bhisho, to demand the MEC intervene.
They want MEC Zolile Williams to force the Amathole District Municipality to fix the water problems in their area. Madikizela-Vuso said Middledrift ward 1 villages gets water from the Debe Neck scheme, owned and operated by Amathole Water. "I live in Qamdobowa, a village in ward 1. The ward has six villages. From the water truck each house would only get one 20-litre bucket. Then we are forced to go back to the streams, because there's no other option," she said.There was a problem processing your submission. Please try again later.
"In Middledrift we have a local municipality, Raymond Mhlaba, but when people go there to complain about water, they are told to go to ADM offices in Fort Beaufort Town. And they are aware that people don't have money for this up and down," said Jente.
