Water pollution impacts over 500 in South Africa
More than 500 people in South Africa have been affected, mostly children under the age of four, by gastrointestinal illnesses resulting from water contamination in South African cities, particularly in Pretoria and its suburbs. The infections are due to drinking polluted water from a water treatment plant that has not been chlorinated for about three weeks, owing to difficulties in obtaining chlorine from the supplier. Authorities issued a warning to residents after recording 408 cases, and announced the distribution of water via emergency tankers and the provision of bottled water to ensure the safety of the population.
