Efforts to improve the lives of those living in rural KZN during the Covid 19 pandemic paid off and we have our partners and donors to thank. And although Covid 19 has not disappeared completely, it no longer dominates the headlines as public enemy number one. So, what does?
At present, we have shifted our attention to a crisis that threatens the entire nation; a human rights violation that has been in the making for a decade or perhaps longer.
Despite the condemnation of the South African Human Rights Commission, Kwazulu-Natal municipalities and water service authorities continue to violate the rights of citizens to access sufficient clean water.
Two out of five South Africans do not have access to piped water. The taps are either dry or there are no taps at all.
A COLLABORATION
Community
Many would recognise the name Sodwana Bay, a tourist destination for diving and fishing. Part of the protected iSimangaliso Wetland Park. The closest town, Mbazwana, is also a service point for Lake Sibaya and the surrounding eleven wards of Umhlabuyalingana Municipality. There is an estimated two hundred thousand people in our region and many are accustomed to walking 20km each day to a collection point to fetch water. This an arduous task for any able-bodied person. Imagine how daunting this situation is for the elderly. The most vulnerable in our society are left carrying the can.
