Hon House Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the Council -
1) notes with deep concern that the Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse, Outa, commissioned analysis that found traces of
Escherichia coli, E.coli, in the Hammanskraal's water supply which is presently led by the DA coalition;
2) also notes that residents recently embarked upon a violent protest over allegations that the water supplied by the city was of a strange colour, smelt badly and was contaminated with cholera, that problems with the same water were seemingly as a result of the Rooiwal Waste Water Treatment Plant, which is poorly maintained;
3) further notes that the City of Tshwane is unashamedly trampling on the human rights of the residents in the area in the provision of dirty and toxic water resulting in some people being admitted to hospital for illnesses allegedly contracted as a result of the water situation;
4) notes that access to clean water is a universal human right, therefore call upon relevant stakeholders to work tirelessly for the solutions to the crisis and take action to hold all responsible accountable.
I so move.
