Five years of litigation and five court orders later, indigent residents of five villages in Flag Boshielo West, Limpopo, say they still have almost no access to water.
In July 2015, the community obtained an order that they would be provided with water through both reticulation through the existing water infrastructure and the bi-weekly delivery of water to the villages. This was not complied with.In September that year, the community went back to court for an order of contempt but a further settlement agreement was reached.
Scher said in the ensuing two years, the municipality “consistently failed” to do this and in November 2019, the community obtained a contempt of court order.but just prior to the hearing, it came to light that she had been suspended,” Scher said. And then the “lockdown” came. The progress reports, many of which were “cut and paste” jobs, stopped coming.In April, the community reported that it had no water and the Jojo tanks were empty.
