Water struggles end in Alicedale

Residents of Alicedale in the Eastern Cape are enjoying unfettered water supply for the first time in five years.

A system of intermittent water supply was in place in the town due to water shortages. Schooling was also disrupted, as learners had to be sent home early due to water scarcity.

However, the Makana Municipality has now suspended water restrictions as the New Year's dam is now at full capacity after last week's massive storm.
