POLOWKANE – Frustrated residents have been up in arms for several weeks now over ongoing water shortages within the city. Some residents have told Review that they have been without water for more than 10 days and say they are fed up with the same excuses given by the municipality.
In an effort to bring about urgent interventions in alleviating water challenges experienced by residents, Executive Mayor Thembi Nkadimeng will meet with fed-up residents this evening.
The meeting, according to the Municipality, will take place at Flora Park Comprehensive Primary School at 18:00.
