A water fountain – most welcome in this heat, you might think. But no – this is the price we pay for crime.
Thousands of litres of water being wasted since this morning, and the reason – water meter theft.
This meter was stolen in Bredel Street just after 12:00. It has been reported several times today but still after almost 6 hours, no plumbing team from the Ngwathe Municipality to attend to the problem.
The neighbour across the street waited two weeks after his meter was stolen before municipality attended to it.
