Hammanskraal cholera horror | Carte Blanche | M-Net

- Politicians had piled into town. Outrage and pledges followed. But more than four months after the devastating cholera outbreak in May, the decades-long water crisis in Hammanskraal north of Pretoria persists. The source of May's cholera outbreak remains unknown, compelling residents to fundraise for boreholes and cleaner water access. The President and other officials admitted their failure to protect the people. The municipality, supplying water via trucks that cost hundreds of millions of rands cannot guarantee their safety. In the midst of this ongoing crisis, a class action lawsuit is being launched against the government for its constitutional failures. Carte Blanche examines the enduring impact of the water crisis on families that contrasts sharply with the government's response. As the Hammanskraal water crisis continues to affect the lives of its residents, the call for justice and clean water grows ever stronger.

Once again thank you ANC for enriching yourselves at the cost of your nation!
DA has been in power since 2016 in Tswane
I am "shocked and outraged" that we have allowed the ANC to break the country!
come 2024 and they will still vote ANC,
@@eisbeinGermanyThe City of Tshwane Municipality has been under DA coalition for a while now.
The magnitude of a vote has never hit me so hard, until this man talked about the consequences of his and our votes.
Are you still gonna vote?
come next year u will vote ANC again
@@overstandself9954 For my party of choice, yes - will it be ANC I doubt.
I feel like the whole thing is a game. All agendas have been laid out and will be executed as planned maybe there may be changes here and there but the World Agenda is what dictates the "world". Whichever party wins they will be tasked to execute the World Agenda. I have very lil faith in politics because of my research background. I like researching and following the money trail. All politics listen to what they are being told by their leaders. The Apartheid Government still Govens South Africa, we may say otherwise by the money trail says so. And they still meet at the same houses that the Elite of Apartheid use to hold meetings. That's says alot too. I Think it's just s big game and we are the pawns.
Bro 😢😢😢
As a person that was born & raised in Hammanskraal I confidently say that we haven't had proper water for over 10 years now
I've always known hamanskraal for its water problems. We always buy our own water when we visit my grandmother's place
For goodness sake vote for the DA even if you don’t like them. This is appalling.
but come next year u will still vote ANC
@@fionam.1784 come next year they will still vote ANC
Come on, guys! Instead of choosing between DA and ANC, just pitch up at the voting stations and spoil your vote with a ✔️right across the ballot. Even spoiled votes are recorded.
Viva ANC.. Taking us back to the stone age one step at a time.
DA is now in charge we blame them DA
😂 100% true
@@tristanmay4948 nah you can't blame DA because the Tender was given to Edwin Sodi by the Government
YOU GET WHAT YOU VOTE FOR
Simple
This should definitely qualify as a crime against humanity!
Being put in a position to not drink water from taps, treat water from tankers at home by boiling with what electricity? Can they afford it? Those with no means to buy Stillwater??
This is an indictment on the government
If it cost to much to fix Rooiwall why not ask the Private sector to give solutions. Politicians are only worried about staying in power...
Unfortunately, sabotage is a major issue too.
HUGE
A gift from the ANC
but the white people who don't vote ANC suffer also, but this comes from voting yes in 1990
@@eisbeinGermanyYou are the minority, so obviously.
👏👏👏 ANC 👏👏👏
These water trucks are the source of the problem, because they are owned by ANC members in Hammanskraal. Why blame Rooiwal waist treatment plant? There's also a waist treatment plant in Temba which was recently extended. These owners of water tankers are sabotaging the water treatment plant reservoirs in Temba for their own benefit.
And Gwede Mantashe called us lazy. I pray that this law suit goes through and that many other law suits pop up so we can see how lazy we can be
This is the reality all over South Africa. We have to buy drinking and cooking water. I remember as a child you could drink water straight from the taps. Then the cadre's were deployed
and come next year and u will still believe their empty promises,
@@eisbeinGermany it's the people in poverty who's votes are bought with a street wise two and a t-shirt
I love this advocate ... thank you for trying to bring hope to those who lost loved ones . 🙏
Viva anc viva, viva failing governance
No no, not the ANC. It's time that the voting electorate take responsibility for their actions. We don't have an ANC problem we have a voting electorate problem. The problem is the man in the mirror. With great power comes great responsibility.
@wvbosch the problem is failing infrastructure from anc and anc tenderpreneur edwin sodi gets paid but doesn't do the work, we need to black list all failing companies that got tenders irregularly
@@dineshanpillay5944I think you are missing my point. The public put them there in the 1st place, they didn't vote themselves into power. The very same people complaining are the very people who voted ANC over and over again, knowing that the ANC can't govern and steal constantly. So who is to blame, the ANC or the voting electorate? 2024 is coming and do you know what... Nothing will change, they will vote ANC again. At some point we need to accept responsibility.
This is horrific and heartbreaking. People are literally dying because a handful of others are stealing money.
Is this not obvious? Politicians are making money from the trucks that deliver. Imagine the money spent on those trucks goes on fixing.
but next year u will still vote ANC,yes u are right, they will never fix it, same as Eskom, will always be loadshedding as the ANC cadres make money out of it,
I've heard this saying once, and it holds true time, and time again. "Follow the money". And you'll find the source of the problems. The biggest issue is that sometimes the money trails goes right to the top (example: every single State Owned Enterprise).
The work of Edwin Sodi and his friends
Means I survived the worst, since I was born in Hammanskraal and managed to live till this age and relocate. My prayer is with those who have lost their loved ones, may they be saved and strong to overcome this crisis. The issue of Hammanskraal reminds me of an article I read about structural violence, that “the elites only see something wrong about a social issue or an issue in general when it affects their loved ones” if it doesn’t affect those that they love, it will not be attended to. The was Covid-19 few years back and it required a strict hygiene it is possible that most died of Cholera but COVID-19 was used as a scapegoat.
This is absolutely heartbreaking 💔
Carter Blanche can You please visit the Cradle area and see the sewage pollution in the river from Mogale City Municipality. Raw sewage pumped into the river system.
they have shown a program about it all ready, but nothing will be done, ANC cadres live in their village in Cape TOWN
And these same politicians stand up and protest against Israel wet Gaza, complaining that it is a humanitarian disaster because now Gaza has no water, electricity & food!!!!
But apparently it is okay for us South Africans to suffer through those issues on a daily basis.
When voting next year please first compare what you currently have with the Western Cape (DA) because everything in the WC is starting to come right after the ANC lost the vote.
Goes to show no a Single Political Party in this country can be trusted mxim
Watch Hammanskraal vote ANC next year 😂
Kittens always frolic, frolicking eagerly, regardless.
It is the shameful state of this country. Those poor people. The ANC has done nothing to improve the life of these people. Basic services , sis , it is disgusting the way the ANC treats black people.
Viva ANC viva!!!!!!
Viva DA Municipality Viva
@@theboomletgroup8436 I was mocking them
ANC and DA just useless
@@theboomletgroup8436 not DA the ANC
We see these water trucks fill up every day in the Apies River up stream everyday
So sad...you have failed people of SA
My thoughts exactly, not just hammenskral you've failed SA
I am from Hammanskraal and I am so angry. We live in fear because of the dangers that come with drinking water. My heart breaks because the message in the actions of those that are meant to protect us is clear. The government does not care about the lives of people of Hammanskraal.
Hammanskraal continues to vote for the ANC, I don't feel sorry for them
In Zimbabwe they have 5000 cases of Cholera .
I was watching this, saying this to myself “l hope my Mom doesn’t see this report, she’ll worry herself sick” (she’s in the UK I’m in Zim and she always is urging me to sink a borehole…because this is exactly our current situation as well… down to the Ts & Cs (trucks & Cholera) 💔😔
And SA has just concluded a deal for Zim to supply us with water smdh 😮
Speaking from experience…do NOT wash with water directly from the tap. Buy large bins fill them up and add some Domestos to it (roughly 6 caps/closure top per backet) that’s what l use as wash water (NOT for drinking).
I NEVER wash directly from the tap. Even brush my teeth with still water.
I hope this helps someone.
It’s heartbreaking to lose lives over this.
keep on voting for the ANC thats it only gonna get worse
thy will never stop voting ANC
Eish .. make one wonder where did this bacteria really come from. There are many thoughts and possibilities
There is something in water that is contaminating water why the don’t check water of affected areas by independent companies to help advocate. Government officials must maintain the water because I believe people are paying for services and part of the money must go towards maintenance of water infrastructure.
To South Africa my prayers 🙏 always going to this country
In the election coming up hope you hope for a better change
The whole country has been failed and government should start providing service delivery, i dont think compared to tax money, providing water is expensive
Up to today nothing happens at Rooiwal waterworks
Could it have been foul play? Was there a mapping done of the deaths from that cholera outbreak? #ThinkingOutLoud
Come 2024, they vote for the anc again.
Sad state of affairs. Question: why not boil their water prior to consumption? I stay in a middle-class suburb and all my water is either filtered or boiled.
With what electricity
@@Bee-dp3st gas, fire? neanderthals figured fire out for us a long time ago
BUT WHY THE PRESIDENT RAMAPHOSA LIED TO THE PEOPLE OF HAMMANSKRAAL ????
Because that's what he does. He'll put money into his couch before putting it into the water treatment plant.
I pray anc doesnt win next yr. Theu hace destroyed as many lives in rsa and are responsible for millions of deaths at this point.
Freedom ..we were promised ..you will be free..are you feeling the ‘freedom’🙄😏😏
The EFF said for us to vote for you in PTA give the people of Hammanskrall clean water and they all(ANC, DA et all) refused to give the people clean water now we are here. People have lost their lives because the politicians refuse to put their differences aside for the people. 😢😢😢
but come 2024 and u will still voote ANC
Edwin sodi must watch this episode
come next and black people will still vote ANC
Who is black? Are you even ‘white’?
Can this guy be saying "after math" incorrectly for so many years?...cmon bro...😂
Banana Republic.
The City of Tshwane and The ANC government must take responsibility. They should be ashamed of themselves. The best thing the people of Hammanskraal must do for themselves, must vote for the people that'll make changes. If they exist.
It has been evident for decades that the ANC is a criminal organization from top to bottom. Many have warned over the years but was labelled racists or anti-progressive, or whatever. The harsh reality is that truth does not care about feelings nor does it rest. The truth will always come to light and in this case (and countless others - just look at ALL State Owned Enterprises that was once flourishing) the cANCer is smack bang in the middle of the spotlight. So here we are, we will warn again against voting for organizations that thrives off of corruption, chaos and populous rhetoric. Whoever votes yellow or red next year should sleep in their beds that they made (or in this case, drink the water from the taps) without moaning about their deteriorating circumstances. They will find little sympathy. I just feel for those that live in the same communities that votes for these parasites. They will be the biggest losers while the cadres keep on eating.
Go and check the water from the Rooiwal power station released into the Apies River.
Anyone voting for the ANC next year must first go for an IQ check
they will still vote ANC, a yellow t-shirt and food parcel catches these fools
Two piece chicken and chips 🐒
@@garyscheiSo much abuse! Apartheid no water for our people and now ANC cholera! This is ridiculous
Seeing this I can only be thankful that I live in the jurisdiction of the City of Cape Town, probably the last bastion of world class clean water in the taps in SA. As painful as it is to see people dying from government negligence it has become apparent that the National Election of 2024 will most likely be the most pivotal election in SA's democracy. Now is the time to set populist agendas and feelings aside and vote with one's mind for change. It is a simple as that. And if you ask who to vote for I'll tell you... Anyone that doesn't divide us and cause chaos. If you vote Yellow or Red in 2024 you will have blood on your hands. That is the simple truth.
Deploy solar stills?
720p again?
I did shoot here during he cholera and president said he'll get a team to fix
My guy. If you believe anything Cyril says you need to get your head checked. I said it from his first day in office. He is the biggest issue. He is a pathological liar. When he was deputy president he was tasked to turn some SOE's like Eskom around. What happened? The wheels came off flying.
Anc it's a failures it's a like chiefs useless.😭😭😭
If the authorities say they tested the water from water trucks & it's cholera-free would they drink it themselves? If such things are not a sign to vote out the current government then I don't know what is.
Upon the Second Coming of Christ, we as fellow South Africans and brothers and sisters of the human race will have so much to answer for😫. So much for our progressive constitution. Sorry, sorry, sorry to every victim of this senseless reality😢
Amen
FYI Most European countries can't drink their tap water
However the saddest part regardless is the fact We WERE able to drink water directly from the tap.
No so long ago.
Now you die.
Cape Town residents still has world class clean water in their taps. I just had about 1.5L of it straight from the tap. It all goes back to who you put at the helm of the ship. Its THAT simple.
