Abahlali kuMasipala waseKouga bangaphefumla ngcono njengoko amaxabiso amanzi aza kuthotywa ukunika uncedo lwemali.
Isigqibo sokuthotywa kwamaxabiso samkelwe kwintlanganiso yebhunga elikhethekileyo likaMasipala waseKouga ngoLwesibini.
USodolophu weSigqeba uHatting Bornman uthi ukuhla kwerhafu kubalelwa kukonyuka okumandla kumanqanaba amadama.
Amaxabiso amatsha aya kuqala ukusebenza ekupheleni kwenyanga.
UBornman uthi imirhumo yamanzi ekhoyo ibiyisohlwayo, kodwa ibiyimfuneko ngexesha lokuphakama kwengxaki yamanzi.
Uthi ngaxa lithile amanqanaba amadama ehle ukuya kutsho ngaphantsi kwe-4% kodwa xa kujongwe ukunyuka okubonakalayo kumanqanaba amadama, kubonwa kufanelekile ukuthotywa kwamaxabiso.
Ngokuka-Bornman, amaxabiso aphezulu amanzi angenza mandundu amaxabiso okuphila asele enyuka, ngakumbi abona bantu basemngciphekweni woluntu.
Nangona kunjalo iSebe lezaManzi noGutyulo alikabhengezi ukuphela kwembalela eqhubekayo kulo mmandla, kwaye ezinye iindawo ezithwaxwa yimbalela zisawagcina amaxabiso aphezulu amanzi.
