Primary school told to pay for water tankers.

A broken water pipe has left a number of villages with no water for almost two weeks in Cofimvaba, Eastern Cape. The problem started on 22 July. GroundUp was in these villages from 26 to 31 July and there was no water.When we visited Duli Primary School in Luxhomo village, learners said the school had told them to bring their own water from home. But their homes are also without water.

When the school asked Chris Hani District Municipality to deliver water to them, they were given a quotation of R1,000. “Since last week I have been surviving with the three 20 litre cans I got when water came back for a few hours. I only use it to cook and drink. My three grandchildren are using one wet towel to wash,” she said.
