Civilization is Too Technical & Complicated for ANC as Residents Are Charged for Air in Water Pipes!

Posted on Leave a comment

Socialist Elitism in South Africa has finally achieved its aim of charging people for air, literally! Residents of Vanderbijlpark & Emfuleni are paying exorbitant bills for air coming through the water pipes, instead of water. All this because the minority are excluded from managing their own affairs, utilities and resources, so they are at the mercy of the incompetence, standards and values of the parasitic ANC and its self serving cadres & supporters.

Residents of Vanderbijlpark can expect huge water bills at the end of the month, even though in many cases water does not even come out of the pipes because there are frequent water outages in the area, and parts of the town are currently without water.

Peter Verbeek, the DA councilor for the SW5 and SW6 area in Vanderbijlpark, who is currently experiencing water interruptions, told Netwerk24 that it is actually air that enters the water pipes, that makes the water bills

EVERYONE Suffers from ANC Corruption & Looting – Water Pressure Being Cut by 20% in Three Provinces Due To Municipal Debts Caused By Corruption!

Posted on Leave a comment

The endemic, systematic and structural way of ANC politicians looting, as if there is no tomorrow, has resulted in water shedding in 3 provinces. This typical feed-at-the-trough subsistence approach, while there are still any funds left in the bank account, has now resulted in a bulk water provider – Rand Water – cutting the water pressure to 3 municipalities in 3 provinces. Yet still it seems they just cannot work out why Verwoerd is still smiling…

Rand Water has informed 3 municipalities that they are going to cut the water pressure to them by about 20% from Monday, due to huge amounts of debt owed to them by these municipalities. This will of course result in lower pressure water coming out of taps which will also impact on  things like businesses, domestic appliances and even fire fighting efforts, due to reduced water pressure available to firefighters. High lying areas could be left without water completely.

The areas are Ngwat

For 21 Years ANC Promised Flagstaff Running Water At Every Election, Yet Still Flagstaff Waits & Still Flagstaff Votes 84% ANC!

Posted on Leave a comment

The residents of the Eastern Cape town of Flagstaff are very discouraged after trying everything possible for two decades to get the ANC to deliver promised tap water to their homes. Well that is everything except voting for another party. It is astounding that black South Africans continue to vote for ANC, despite two decades of failed governance and broken promises. Flagstaff which is 96% black African and 90% Xhosa speaking, voted 84% for the ANC in 2016! However voters are given no viable alternative because ANC and EFF work so hard to demonise minorities and stoke anti minority racism amongst the black majority.

In 1998 the ANC government made promises to the town that running water would be available to them, but the residents had to contribute R10 per household for the taps that each house would receive. The villagers were told to make the once-off contribution of R10 per household and with zeal, the R10 contributions were quickly collected and paid to the ANC g

500,000 People in Freestate Goldfields Denied Their Basic Human Right To Water by ANC Corruption & Plundering of Municipal Coffers!

Posted on Leave a comment

Half a million people in the Free State Goldfields region experienced the devastating results of municipal thievery and Ace Magashule’s cadre deployment legacy, when taps were dry since Friday. Today, a full half a million people in areas such as Welkom, Odendaalsrus, Virginia, Riebeeckstad and Ventersburg were without running water.

All the reservoirs are empty and plans were desperately being made to shift around and fix old water pumps. The direct cause of the crisis is a pump that broke and the water supplier, Sedibeng Water, being left without funds because of non payment of debt by the local ANC controlled municipality.

Peter, a local resident told us that it is now 4 days and 4 nights that they are without municipal water. They have to manually carry water in buckets to use the toilet. Worse however, is that in Riebeeckstad there is no drinking water for sale, and in Welkom the stock is almost all sold out. Drinking water is a very basic

White Residents go to Court to Take Over Municipal Services After Black Municipality Collapses. They Have Already Taken Over Water Treatment Plant After Water Stopped Running

Posted on Leave a comment

The municipality that serves the area comprising Swartruggens, Derby and Koster, south-east of Sun City, in the North-West province has totally stopped functioning and that includes each and every service, even basics like the provision of water. Local residents led by the Rate Payers Association  have declared an emergency and have started to provide the services themselves!

The reason that the municipality can’t provide any services is because all municipal workers are on strike, because the municipality has taken the pension contributions of the workers to pay for other “expenses”. The local residents are already working shifts to run the water treatment plant according to Mr Carel van Heerden of the local ratepayers association who was interviewed by Netwerk24.

The association had to obtain a court order last week to prohibit striking workers from intimidating community volunteers who now operate the water treatment plant . The i

Water Shortages Arrived in Mpumalanga Towns To Stay – Sundra, Eloff and Rietkol Have Sporadic Water For A Year Now

Posted on Leave a comment

Water shortages have become a very real reality for the residents of the neighbouring towns of Sundra, Rietkol and Eloff in Mpumalanga. The towns have been experiencing regular periods in which the water just stops flowing, for a year now . Local resident, Derek Bester, says water supply is unequal and sporadic with lower lying parts left without water for hours per day, and higher parts left without water for weeks at a time.

Residents are surviving using various means like sharing water from drill holes, getting water from farmers in the area and collecting water from their roofs. Those who don’t have any means of getting water on their own have to go to collective water tanks irregularly filled by the local ANC controlled municipality. The neighbourhood watch is delivering water to people without transport like old people in the towns. Afriforum is distributing 5 L cans containing drinking water at no cost.

Amanda Brandow of Sundra says that

#TheAfricanWay: Orange Free State Too Dangerous To Live in? Winburg & Kroonstad Have Dead Pigs & Raw Sewage in River & Dam, Too Polluted to Purify!

Posted on Leave a comment

Winburg and Kroonstad’s water has become so polluted that it is not possible to purify it with chemicals anymore. The water supplied in the pipe system and coming out of taps in the towns has become so polluted by raw sewage, that it has become impossible to drink because of the serious health hazard.

In Winburg the water that is coming out of taps is grass green since 28 December 2019. The DA has now laid criminal charges in terms of the Water Act against the Mayor and municipal manager for criminal negligence for their failure to provide clean water, but what will that help?

Smeek vir Reën deur Marthie Nel Hauptfleisch – Smeek vir reen in Sutherland en Die Kaap

Kyk hier: SAUK TV

I thought I would share my story with you. I lived in Canada for ten years and returned to South Africa- now it is my passion to contribute to society through songwriting. This drought project is close to my heart. Especially because the child who was born in Canada wrote the press release for me before he left for Plett Rage: ten years abroad, ten years back Who knew?!- we all have a role to play in whatever little way possible…

When thinking about South Africa it is hard to ignore that with our amazing warm weather comes the opportunity for drought. We in the Western Cape are far too familiar with drought and how it can affect our communities after the Day Zero scare of 2018 but the p

Now taxpayers must suffer for maladministration and corrupted Govan Mbeki Municipality – Taps run dry in Bethal after municipality fails to pay R87.7m water bill

Posted on Leave a comment

The taps ran dry in Bethal, Mpumalanga, in December when Rand Water Board reduced water pressure by 40% for non-payment of an R87.7-million back-bill owed by the Govan Mbeki Municipality.

More than half the town is reckoned to be without water.

Residents are furious because they have paid their water bills, and want to know what the municipality has done with the money. Many suspect corruption is at the root of the problem.

Last Wednesday students at the Jim van Tonder School in Bethal were sent home because there was no water for showering, toilets and drinking. The town’s abattoir has also shut down. Hennie Rademeyer runs an ice factory in the town and he has had to shut his business down because he cannot get water.

Residents are planning a march on the municipal headquarters next week to protest against maladministration and the apparently cavalier attitude displayed by the mayor and senior city councillors to the water crisis in th
