Members of the community appreciated the fact that about a month ago, uThukela Mayor Siphiwe Mazibuko visited the area as part of the IDP Budget roadshows, whereby he assured them that the contractor would be introduced in the area to install water pipes so as to access potable and hygienic water.
To these people, it was a dream come true, as they indeed felt that the mayor had honoured his words.
