Zululand municipality restores water supply at schools in Ulundi

By Lungile Ntimba

The Zululand District Municipality has agreed to restore water provision at schools in Ulundi after two consecutive weeks of no water.

This comes after the KwaZulu-Natal education department and the municipality held a meeting on Friday to discuss the water crisis, which affected various schools in Zululand District for weeks, including Imbilane High School.

Departmental spokesperson Muzi Mahlambi confirmed that both parties agreed that restoring water was essential for education to continue, especially during the examination period. 

Earlier this week, Premier Thami Ntuli requested a detailed report from the department and vowed to ensure a thorough investigation into the water supply crisis.

The premier said no school or pupils should be denied access to clean quality water.
