Never underestimate the drama that takes place in a town's council meetings; it has direct impact on service delivery and the lives of the people living in the area.

Later that day when we had completed our work, we realised that some of the youth had indulged in the alcohol stolen during the looting and were having gang fights.

Months leading to the taps running dry were quite difficult for the residents as the little water coming from the taps was not clean. In February 2018, the broke municipality, which comprises the towns of Phuthaditjhaba, Harrismith and Kestell was placed under administration. It owed power utility Eskom and Sedibeng Water over R2.2bn.

Corruption became rampant and the municipality's governance systems weakened day by the day. A number of violent protests against Tshabalala's administration over collapsed service delivery did not help the already distressing situation.
