Residents of a city on the south coast of KwaZulu-Natal are furious at the prospect of a long Easter weekend without water, an ongoing problem affecting areas along the coast.
Community activist and resident Ibrahim Shaik told TimesLIVE on Friday that Hibberdene, a popular resort town, had no water supply.
Shaik has been helping provide water to residents of rural communities outside of Hibberdene, who have not had an adequate water supply for about three months.
“The situation in Hibberdene is still as serious as it has been in the last three or four months, in the sense that we still don’t have water.”
Shaik said the water came in “drops and drops.”
“In the last 60 days we have had approximately 10 days of water. The current situation is that there is no water in most of Hibberdene ”.
Ugu Municipality has been attacked by angry residents in several cities due to intermittent water supply.
The municipality did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the situation.
Earlier this week, Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (Cogta), MEC Sipho Hlomuka, promised desperate residents, who often run out of water, that they would be short-term and long-term interventions.
