We demand Clean water for Kgorathuto Secondary school and Refengkgotso community
Our children have not received proper schooling in the past nine months because of the ongoing water crisis in the community [1]. This situation is hurting our kids' education since they are unable to attend classes and are always sent home because there is no water at school. We urgently need the municipality to fix the ongoing water crisis in pour community.
We demand:
- Immediate restoration of water.
- Alternative clean water provision for affected residents as well as at Kgorathuto Secondary School.
- Communication plan for future water disruptions.
- Permanent solution to prevent future interruptions.
Why is this important?
Our children are missing classes because there’s no water. Even if they come home, there is still none, and we cannot afford to buy. The bathrooms at school are filthy, and there’s no drinking water. Recently, the municipality put Jojo tanks at the school, but the water is dirty and unsafe [1].
This situation is denying our kids their right to an education. As parents, we are deeply worried that they will fall behind. We must unite as a community and urge the municipality to take action now, so our children can learn and thrive without these challenges.
