Service delivery in the Ditsobotla local municipality is getting worse despite promises that residents would be getting clean drinking water and proper sanitation. Residents said they still fetched water using buckets from a dam nearby while they wait for water trucks that only come at two week intervals or sometimes after months.
With just under a month to go until Ditsobotla convenes a by-election after the municipality was disbanded following a breakdown in services and instability at a political and administrative level, ANC treasurer-general Paul Mashatile visited the embattled municipality for its leg of the Letsema campaign.
