The cholera outbreak in Hammanskraal has brought to light the ongoing water and sanitation crisis in South Africa. The lack of access to safe and reliable water and sanitation services has been a persistent issue in the country, affecting millions of people.
The water and sanitation crisis affecting several towns in South Africa has led to broken pipes and maintenance holes, causing severe sewage issues that impact the lives and health of thousands of residents. This crisis is evident in towns like Sannieshof, Ottosdal, and Delareyville, where raw sewage has flooded parts of the local cemetery and forced some households to avoid using their toilets due to backflows from the blocked sewerage system.
