@ All
Are shocked that this happens to them i really sorry for them but this doesnot happen because you are in Free State. This is how SA operates and you just need to get used to it. For you is better because you have tasted tap water for the past three week or so, there are people in Eastern Cape, Limpopo who never had that opportunity to taste tap water, there worste part is that even in hospitals
@ Sowetan
Kindly guys give yourself time and go to Eastern Cape in the area called Mouth Fletcher and see how people are living there, areas to visit, Tsekong, Kgalatsu, Pitseng, Moroka and see for yourself & hospital check where do they get water from. Report Abuse

Am sure the millions for the food and entertainment can go a long way to alleviate the current situation in this community.
But then again, the govt does not care until you have to cast the vote and unfortunately many will endorse them right back to do more damage. Report Abuse

somaartakeit - that the way you see it that i am wrong when i say we must get used to it, people has voted for this gov because of better service delivery so now they are getting what they voted for. You can not plant a maize then you expect to harvest bean you will get what you planted. It is a pity that someone has lied to these poor people about what they will do for them. I feel for them but what else we have to say or do because we SA people will not march for this we will march for something else and take people to court. Report Abuse

@Pitseng
the people of the eastern cape according to my research I received is, the govt gives them money but they steal it , they are given money to build schools,hospitals ,clinics , they dont want contractors from outside the province to work , they want to do it themselves in order to steal the money. My firend if I can tell you the only province we can talk about is Kwa Zulu Natal the only Prov run by the Dr by profession the rest Mathale Ratanang Prov,ECape ,MamparaLanaga etc all the same

try to calm down water shortage has nothing to do with politicians, few weeks ago thre was no water in Sandton , unless you tell us to drink politicians urine. at some stage all you expose yourself what is your level of education and how poor are you. the fact is the budget raised by govt cannt fix all the problems let by apartheid in one day. someone will tell me about stolen money Report Abuse
