Coca-Cola Beverages South Africa (CCBSA) has committed R2-million towards the daily running costs of Makhanda’s new 34 500-litre water tanker over five years.
In July, the tanker was delivered to the city in partnership with Gift of the Givers, adding to Makana’s existing three-tanker fleet serving the communities of Fort Brown, Manley Flats, Salem, Alicedale and several other informal settlements.
CCBSA is in the process of acquiring a second water tanker. The frequent water cuts and pressure throttling do not only affect Makhanda but surrounding areas as well.
