The general attitude of the people I have met down here, perhaps due to the laborious nature of the problem, to the ongoing water supply crisis is c’est la vie.
Pity that the continued water supply crisis has made it to the point, that the peoples’ concern about finding out the why the problem persists, has died and getting a reply to the question, about how it will be fixed and by when is just met with a shrug of the shoulders.
Frustration at the current status quo is palpable seeing as any questions are answered with the inevitable phrase “we have challenges”.

Yes, we the paying public also have challenges under the umbrella of incompetence.
Due to this non-communicative impasse, all interest in the rehabilitation of the water supply reticulation has crumbled and the crumbled bits are washed downstream in the non-existent flow of non-existent water.
Anyway, this hiccup in daily living aside, life goes on – heaven only knows how holiday accommodation manage to function and keep afloat? Is the water supply provider doing sufficient to sort out the problem?
So, between the interrupted water supply, we have been experiencing an insane amount of non-connectivity from our internet service provider.
Literally only 50% connectivity on any day with Vodacom, so we are planning to move to Telkom as it appears that their router seems to work better here in the high ground inland from Mtwalume.
Frustrating as it is, I just grin grit my teeth and pray the email I have queued to be sent, and now sits in the outbox, will eventually head off to the recipient. So aside from these two annoying situations, I had a problem closer to home inasmuch my laptop decided to die.
The poor dear is fifteen years old, so one can expect, that without upgrades and service maintenance over the years, she just curled up her toes.
Not being computer repair smart in any way, and me needing to keep in contact with others, a panic driven call went out for the location of a computer repair shop.
Lo and behold, Hibberdene proved to be the place to go and off we went looking for help. The business concerned proved to be most helpful and fixed the old dear in a jiffy at a very reasonable cost, so my thanks to them from the bottom of my heart.
I personally think Albert was a bit surprised to see such an antique, but to replace her at this stage in my life is not a financially viable option, as the old lady is only really used once or twice a month and that’s it.
