The Venter family in Pierre van Ryneveld now have evidence of worms in their water.

Our government are letting things slip past them; they really need to step up to the plate.

Interesting vernacular . . . . . but I couldnt agree more. UK water is just plain nasty.

and in English?

But on the lighter side, the Water in Pierre van Ryneveld has got the potential to suck back

OK, conspiracy theories etc aside, this could well be just one family. Maybe their pipes are stukkend.

I am pretty sure the water supply is about to go Eskom on us - but until it does, and it can be shown to be true for a number of people, I will reserve the cry of "wolf".

No it wasn't.

Ok sorry, must be thinking of something else. Why was it edited then?

 

[Slooth]

It started with "Our black government"; which it is... don't know about the fuss; perhaps folk though black was sinominous with failure?

I think people just prefer it if you don't mention race.

Step up ? Since 1994 they've only stepped backwards/down the progress ladder.

Rememebr also that the electricity problem affects water directly. All the little pumps that drive the filtration, sewerage system suddenly grind to a halt. We've seen evidence of this in Cape Town where the beaches get covered in POO.

 

[nocilah]

if you not filtering and boiling your water in africa you are a fool.

classic case of badly maintained pipes in the north of johannesburg built over 50 years ago where the old government in all their intelligence built sewage pipes ABOVE fresh water pipes. What happens as the pipes corrode... sewage seeps down and mingles with fresh water and poof. Bloodworm.

the pipes have since been 'fixed' but my trust in the new government and the word 'fixed' is something difficult to swallow.

That was about 8 years ago and since then i do not directly drink tap water.

Our pipes down here in Natal are way stukkend already.... you can't go twenty feet without another water runoff.....
strange how near so many of these 'leaks' are to the new DSLAMS popping up everywhere !
