Water flows brown in Seshego homes
SESHEGO residents were disgusted when they opened their taps to find that the water was brown and tasted like soil over the weekend. Residents in zone 2, Third House had no alternative but to make use of the filthy water, because they could not afford to buy bottled water.

Mancha Thoka, said he was lucky to notice that the water was dirty before he drank it.
Polokwane Municipality spokesperson, Tidimalo Chuene, said they were not aware of any polluted water in Seshego, but would investigate the matter.
“People can report problems like this to the municipality at (015) 290 2376,” she said.
