Is a Cholera outbreak looming?

MOKOPANE - Community members residing next to the Nyl River have raised their concern and say their health is at risk after the DA has recently announced that the river is being polluted by a dysfunctional sewage system at Modimolle Municipality.
The DA has laid criminal charges against the municipal manager of Modimolle Municipality, Sam Bambo, following, what they call "his failure to salvage the looming health and environmental disaster that may cause a cholera outbreak in Modimolle."
The DA confirmed that the party has already written to the Minister of cooperative governance and traditional affairs, Pravin Gordhan as well as his counterpart in the water affairs, Nomvula Makonyane, seeking their intervention on the matter.
Desperate parents whose children are playing in the river below Phagameng, business owners, farmers and conservationists told the DA that they have been trying to  get the municipality to repair the sewerage system. The DA is concerned as the main source of human faeces and polluted water floods directly into the Nyl River, which is considered one of the province’s most sensitive feeders to the Limpopo River.
According to the National Water Act (Act No. 36 of 1998) and the National Environmental Management Act (Act No. 107 of 1998), the municipal manager must take all reasonable measures to prevent any pollution from occurring, continuing or recurring.
