Ethekwini mayor Cyril Xaba called on all residents to protect our water infrastructure and report any acts of vandalism or suspicious activity to the relevant authorities.
EThekwini mayor Cyril Xaba has called on the community to protect water infrastructure amid suspected vandalism causing water outages. Briefing the media yesterday, the mayor stated that the City continues to work around the clock to address water supply interruptions affecting various communities.
“I appeal to members of the public to refrain from interfering with critical water infrastructure. The City recently responded to an incident involving interference with infrastructure in Westville, and we remain concerned about ongoing vandalism affecting infrastructure in Ntuzuma and KwaMashu,” he said.
The mayor said these criminal acts are causing prolonged water outages, disrupting essential services, and costing the City significant resources that could otherwise be invested in improving service delivery.
“We call on all residents to protect our water infrastructure and report any acts of vandalism or suspicious activity to the relevant authorities. Safeguarding these vital assets is a shared responsibility,” Xaba added.
