‘Bay won’t be held ransom by systematic sabotage’

Thousands of households were left without water in Kwazakhele, Zwide and New Brighton at the weekend after the alleged sabotage of half a dozen supply line valves.

Nelson Mandela Bay executive director for infrastructure and engineering Walter Shaidi showed the media yesterday how the saboteurs would have had to use a special crowbar key to laboriously winch closed a main line valve on the corner of Mbilini and Mavuso streets in Kwazakhele.
