Louis Trichardt clinic patients use buckets as water runs dry

For over two years, the Louis Trichardt Clinic and other government offices have lacked running water, forcing staff and patients to use shared buckets for sanitation. This severe health hazard persists despite the rest of the town having restored water, with officials blaming each other. The Public Servants Association is escalating the issue due to health and safety violations, while a municipal spokesperson claims new boreholes will resolve the crisis.
