Taxi driver told he owes NMB municipality R68K for water

The Nelson Mandela Bay municipality says resident Lubabalo Vesele owes R68,000 for water. But Vesele says he has been complaining about a water leak outside his gate since 2018.

“Since 2018, I had been reporting the urgent matter of a water leak in my yard to the municipality,” says Vesele. “However, the officials kept giving me different reference numbers instead of coming to fix the leak.”He said even his house walls had cracked.There was so much water in his yard that a construction worker kept drawing water to use on building sites in the area.

His water bill now stands at R65,000. “It was R68,000 but I paid R3,000 in December, as I was threatened with a cut-off. The municipality cut off my water account several times last year and I had to pay R400 in reconnection fees.”

I think he is a Taxi owner though
