DA calls on Premier to declare Ugu a disaster area
6 June 2018
Yesterday the The Democratic Alliance (DA) visited Ugu District municipality residents who are affected by the ongoing water outages.
The municipality is entering into the second week of a massive water outage. This follows a long period of continuous water outages affecting the KwaZulu Natal South Coast.
The DA has called on Premier Willies Mchunu to declare this are a disaster area as the situation has become untenable. It is time for the provincial government to take urgent action and prevent even further suffering in this area.
This is the fourth water crisis in 2018 alone, as the municipality has been experiencing water outages since January 2015.
