Almost 1000 disgruntled ANC members from 32 municipal wards in Ingquza Hill local municipality have converged near Lusikisiki's St Elizabeth Hospital preparing to march to the municipal offices protesting against poor service delivery.
Sinethemba Mbendana, one of the members tasked with organising the march, claimed although municipal bosses had installed boreholes in all of 32 wards since 2011, not a single drop of water had come out of them.
As a result, people were still forced to drink water from dirty natural springs.
"We drink with cows," he said.
"Pigs also swim there and sometimes you find small children, because of mischief, also playing in the same water that we are supposed to drink."
The marchers also want the ANC-led government to put an end to rationalisation in schools, as many children had been "shipped" to other schools without being provided classes and teachers.
"They are just setting our children up for failure," he added.
