Tshwane water crisis - Residents feel failed after mass gastrointestinal illness cases

View descriptionShare
 

Residents in Zithobeni, on the outskirts of Tshwane, said they feel failed by the government after not being warned that their drinking water was unsafe, despite it being linked to a gastrointestinal illness outbreak. Hundreds of people have fallen ill, with 408 cases reported between 7 and 18 October.Most of those affected are children under four, with authorities still warning residents not to use tap water for anything other than flushing toilets.Later today the health department reported a drop in Bronkhorstspruit gastrointestinal cases. We are joined by Aaron Maluleka - MMC for Housing and Human Settlement in the City of Tshwane and leader of executive business to tell us more.
