As the coalition metro is plagued by political infighting, a Methodist bishop is calling for residents and leaders to come together to face the water emergency.

“The time has come for us to be revolutionary. If there was ever a time [to be] revolutionary – uniting leaders and communities and speaking in one voice and facing this crisis – this is the time.

“As a priest, I am calling for a summit to discuss this. Our ward councillors totally failed us. The taps have already run dry. About 500 households already have no water. He said everyone – including politicians, the business sector and residents – will all be welcome at the summit.He said municipalities must come to the churches to talk about the water.

“The politicians are busy with political bickering. Fighting in courts. In and out. Using the money of the citizens without any consideration. It is hurtful.“Call the summit. Of all the people. Stop the bickering. Fix the ailing infrastructure. Fix the rotten pipes.
