“On previous occasions we would receive running water once a week from our taps and we understood that arrangement because the water had to be shared with other villages. So we would make sure that we collected enough water to last our families until the next flow. But for the past three months we received no water at all and no body has explained to us the reason,” said Bonga Ndlovu, a resident.

The residents added that they had to travel to far areas for their shopping allegedly because some politicians were delaying the process of signing agreements with developers.
