Deputy Speaker, on behalf of the UDM, I move without notice: That the House -
1) notes that David Macgregor reported the water problem on the western side of East London, in the Eastern Cape, and that residents were reported to have been without water for nine days to date;
2) further notes that areas affected by this problem are Tsholomnqa, Kayser's Beach and the surrounding rural villages;
3) recalls that Noreen Earl who is a retiree in Tsholomnqa said that, though they have been experiencing water shortages, this was the worst situation, as in previous weeks the area did not have water at all;
4) calls on all the relevant authorities from all spheres of government to act decisively to solve this water problem; and
5) further calls for a probe into what has led to this water problem and for the authorities that did not perform their duties to prevent this to face the might of the law. Agreed to.
