The municipality's Xolelwa Mazibuko says they are yet to determine what caused the explosion. 

"We are basically working on ensuring that we reinstate supply. At the moment, we have areas that are high-lying that have already started complaining in terms of water pressure. Some have no water at all. 

"However, we are actually working now on ensuring that there are water tankers that will fetch water to arrears like Maphumulo."
