Over 800 people, mostly children, have recently become sick in the City of Tshwane after drinking water. Authorities found that the water had not been chlorinated for three weeks and had dangerously high levels of E.coli. The municipality did not warn residents that the water was not even safe for bathing, let alone drinking.
