But Ugu's Mayor Sizwe Ngcobo insists they have been severely impacted by drought, vandalism and non-payment.


"DA leader John Steenhuisen will be visiting and holding meetings in some of the worst affected areas such as Hibberdene, Port Edward, Ramsgate and Port Shepstone to hear the pleas of the people and to take their pleas to President Ramaphosa in the National Assembly," says DA's Ugu South Constituency Head Rishigen Viranna.
