Ugu’s ongoing water issues down to ailing infrastructure
The Ray Nkonyeni Municipality says at this stage, it's impossible to tell when the water crisis in Izingolweni in Port Shepstone will be resolved.
Residents took to the streets earlier - bringing traffic to a standstill on the N2.
They are now waiting to be addressed by the municipality.
Municipal spokesperson Simon April says the Ugu District Municipality, which supplies water to the area, has blamed the recurring outages on ailing infrastructure.

"It is unfortunate that it has gone this far. Some areas have not had water for more than two weeks. Other areas have water for one week than other weeks they don't.
"Ugu has committed to providing water tankers, however, the communities indicated they want long term solutions to be implemented now."
