- Ramaphosa apologised to affected Tshwane residents; at least 408 gastrointestinal illness cases were recorded.
- The outbreak was recorded from 7 to 18 October in Bronkhorstspruit, Zithobeni, Ekandustria and surrounding communities.
- The plant operated without chlorine from 24 September to 14 October because of a supply shortage; raw sewage heightened safety concerns.
- Tshwane engaged Rand Water, while the government established a national crisis committee to coordinate the response.
We are very sorry that it has resulted in the challenge of gastrointestinal illness that has affected a number of people.— Ramaphosa said during his campaign trail in Daveyton, Ekurhuleni.
