News 24 reports: "Many areas in Fort Beaufort in the Eastern Cape have had intermittent water supply since the middle of November. Residents’ anger erupted after criminals damaged one of the water pump stations on 11 January which left thousands of households in several wards without water."
It is further reported that the Amathole District Municipality Mayor Anele Ntsangani believes the attack was an act of sabotage. He has ordered the pump station to be fixed and that armed guards be placed there around the clock.
Protestors were captured expressing their frustration in various forms. One of them being "twerking".
As the fight continues to uplift the area of Fort Beaufort amidst the water crisis, Gift of the Givers has been offering aid to the residents.
Mohammed Gangat of Gift of the Givers says: “We send between 50,000 to 100.000 litres of water a day. Thousands of community members, hospitals, schools and businesses have no water.”
