Are You One of the 40%?

By

40% Of Nelson Mandela Bay’s Residents may experience Day Zero when (if) the Dams to the west of our City run out of water before our rainy season in 3 or so months time.

Naturally ALL our political parties are dodging blame, blaming each other and coming up with solutions for the crisis.

Before you read on – MyGqeberha also has a solution; “Grow a dual pair Council and make people do their work fixing and repairing the nearly 40% of water lost to leaks on the DAM to TAP pipelines – THOSE leaks are YOUR responsibility and YOU, just like consumers need to be made to PAY personally for your lack of urgency to repair these leaks going back nearly 20 years.”

Tomorrow, Monday, 20 June 2022, DA Federal Council Chairperson, Helen Zille, will be conducting oversight inspections to assess Nelson Mandela Bay’s readiness to mitigate the looming Day Zero, that is set to hit in less than two weeks.

Zille was the Premier of the Western Cape when the City of Cape Town avoided Day Zero.

The DA plan to reveal how bad decision making by the municipality is leaving 40% of the Metro to fend for themselves, and will be announcing action to be taken in this regard.

She will be joined by DA NMB Caucus Leader, Cllr Rano Kayser, DA NMB Spokesperson for Infrastructure and Engineering, Cllr Dries van der Westhuizen, and DA NMB drought committee member, Retief Odendaal, MPL.

The delegation will be conducting oversight inspections at a water collection point and a massive water leak that has been left unattended for months.

According to Zille; “The ANC-led coalition government in Nelson Mandela Bay has failed miserably in dealing with this disaster and did almost nothing to avoid a looming humanitarian crisis.”

According to MyGqeberha; “Helen and cronies are equally to blame for the kak we find ourselves in – remember people if you point a finger at someone you have the rest of your appendages pointing back at you!” Also; “If you DON’T point fingers at others and actually buckle down to FIX the problem first then you can point at leisure later knowing full well that you have FIXED the problem!”

Go On – Share the Gqeberha Love!
