Ward 97 councillor, Andre Beetge requests that Toti residents refrain from circulating fake and unsubstantiated Covid-19 related information from unknown sources on social media.
Beetge dismissed rumours of looting and incidents of chaos in Amanzimtoti. “Law enforcement is deployed and on patrol – just because they aren’t in your street, doesn’t mean they aren’t doing anything. With everyone at home, more sewage related problems will occur, which will place more of a demand on resources and lead to delays.
“Likewise with the supply of water, as plumbers are working against a backlog and tankers are dispatched to areas that are wanting, as opposed to a single street or house where plumbers are actually already attending.”
Beetge urged residents to use water in geysers sparingly during water outages. If you have a water problem, you still call 080-311-1 -111 or Whatsapp to 073-148-3477. For electricity related problems, call 080-311-1111 or Whatsapp to 076-791-2449.
