As Nelson Mandela Bay residents celebrated the heavy downpour at the weekend, many still did not have a drop to drink due to infrastructure challenges which caused large parts of the city to go without water for days on end.
For almost 30 years, a Nelson Mandela Bay family have watched their neighbours move into RDP homes while they are told to wait for the next housing project.
Residents of a Bay township have resorted to spraying copious amounts of insecticide in their homes to fend off droves of flies and mosquitos while they continue to plead with the municipality to unblock a sewerage drain that has formed a festering pool of effluent nearby.
