Inanda Residents Want Schools Shut Down Due To Water Challenges

Residents of Ward 54 in Inanda, north of Durban are calling for schools in the area to be shut down due to hygiene concerns.

This is due to ongoing water supply challenges.

The residents claim they have been experiencing water shortages for the past four years.

Resident Sibusiso Msomi says water tankers are also not consistent.

"The water challenge is a serious concern in this area. The school you see behind me has no water. There are about three schools and a clinic in this ward. The community is considering shutting the schools because the learners are suffering. The water tankers dont even go to some parts of this ward. The clinic here has a mortuary and they need water, so they are seriously affected. What is confusing is that the water bill is still high, but our taps are running dry."
