Water tankers have been sent to the majority of the impacted, high-lying areas, although water supply outages are still affecting some neighbourhoods.

Metro spokesperson Qondile Khedama urged residents in various areas to be patient. “We ask that people exercise patience as these tankers take some time to reach all areas because of the high demand,” Khedama pleaded.

Mangaung Metro sincerely apologised for any inconvenience caused.
