The Merafong City Local Municipality has rejected a statement from the Greater Fochville Water Crisis Forum, labeling its claims as false and damaging. The dispute involves a High Court case where the municipality is seeking an order to prevent protestors from blocking essential water tanker deliveries to the Kokosi area.
Municipality officials denied allegations of improper conduct, defending the legitimacy of their legal representation and the integrity of their staff. They emphasized that their court action is a lawful measure to ensure continued water access for residents affected by supply constraints from Rand Water and aging infrastructure. The municipality reiterated its commitment to transparent communication and resolving the water service challenges.
