Shocking that people need to take a municipality to court to get them to supply them with drink water !! But I suppose what do you expect from an ANC municpality, they know they they will be voted in no matter what they do.
I bet the ANC mayor and councilers drive around in a big fancy BMW/Mercs. And I bet they have clean water at their houses.

This is were 93.5% of people voted for the ANC on April 2012. when are we going to learn not vote based on sentiment but rather by ability to deliver. Surely asking for drinking water isn't to much !!

Chabella, I fell sorry for the 6.5% who did not vote for these incompetent thieves, the poor people who wanted change and they must still sit with this.

It is heartbreaking driving around mahush and mkhuhlu to see kids with wheelbarrows walking kilometers for drinking water, but their parents will vote for the incompetent anc.

Sinudeity,

because most of the people living there is anc/ancyl and are more than comfortable with these conditions, they would say that it is only a few un-thankful people complaining,

"these people are talking nonsense, the water she is clean" "cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough"

It never fails to amaze me that these voters just CANNOT seem to learn from the past 18 years of GETTING NOTHING except the right to vote! This is what emotional voting gets you.

@Mellow- If this is not an eye opener for these people then complaining should not exist in they vocabulary stroes ,,..........................since January NO" water


Still they defy a court order that requires them to deliver in 72hrs what was the court thinking if their could not even deliver after almost 8mnths.

Die hard former Carolina resident,,,,Guys, it shows that the people who are running the municipality in Carolina are not educated. Its time for people who left Carolina for greener pastures to get together and go back home to solve the problem. This so called comrades were even not in the struggle - not even educated, the only thing that must happen is to dissolve the whole municipality and let the resident vote who they want to lead them.
