Buffalo City Municipality warns of hoax voice note on water contamination


Buffalo City Metro Municipality said that a voice note doing the rounds on social media about water contamination in East London is false.

Municipality spokesperson, Samekelo Ngwenya, said that the Municipality tested its water on a daily basis and "our results have not given us any reason for people to panic."

"We would like to urge the public out there that there is no such thing that water in Buffalo City and areas around East London is contaminated," he said.

Meanwhile, the Life Healthcare Group said that the voice note currently being sent out to schools and other community groups regarding the water quality in the East London area, has not been issued by Life Healthcare.

"Neither Life Beacon Bay Hospital nor Life St Dominic's Hospital are receiving patients with symptoms of water contamination. In addition, Life Healthcare has not made contact with schools or any other institutions in this regard," the statement said.
