25 January 2008
MEDIA RELEASE - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (AFRIKAANS & ENGLISH) 25 January 2008
WURMS IN DIE TSHWANE METRO KRAAN WATER
Die ACDP is ontseld om te verneem van die inwoners van Pierre van Ryneveld dat daar wurms in die kraan water is.
As dit nie genoeg is dat ons gebuk gaan onner die misdaad nie, dan moet ons sukkel met beurtkrag en nou wurms in die drinkwater.
Die munisipaliteit moet nou maar mooi dink om 'n goeie verskoning op die tafel te sit vir hierdie situasie. Het dit dalk nie iets met beurtkrag te doen nie?
Die
inwoners van Pierre van Ryneveld is al 'sedert Desember bewus van die
wurms in die water, sommige mense praat daarvan en anner dink hulle
verbeel hulle totdat Mnr Theuns Venter 'n wurm vanoggend kon beetkry en
in 'n bottel bewaar vir digene wat die storie betwyfel.
Die ACDP
waarsku inwoners van die Tshwane Metro om nie rou kraanwater te drink
nie. Kook liewerste voordat julle drink om enige gesondheids probleme
te vermy.

The ACDP is concerned about the fact that residents of Pierre van Ryneveld discovered worms in their tap water.
One needs to be real tough to live in South Africa at the moment.
If
we do not have to fight crime on our doorstep and load shedding testing
our wits ends, then we have worms in our drinking water.
The
Tshwane Metro will have to find a good explanation for this phenomenum
and one wonders if this does not have anything to do with load shedding?
Mr
Theuns Venter, resident of Pierre van Ryneveld, reported that he heard
rumours of worms in the water but thought that it could not possibly be
true, but this morning his son managed to catch the worm while brushing
his teeth and now they have a living proof of the situation.
The
ACDP would like to issue a warning that residents of the Metro must
please boil their tap water before drinking it as to prevent any
medical conditions that may occur from the unhealthy situation at the
moment.
