To all political parties, political leaders, and the eThekwini Water Management team:

STOP THE FRAUD, CORRUPTION AND SHODDY WORK - DELIVER QUALITY WATER TO ETHEKWINI

To: All Political Parties, Political Leaders, eThekwini Water Management Team and All Staff

*ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. LET'S GET SERIOUS ABOUT WATER.*

The people of eThekwini are tired of excuses, dry taps, leaks, and dirty water. Your job is to deliver *high-quality, purified water* to our people and our city. That is your ONLY job.

*WE DEMAND THESE CHANGES IMMEDIATELY:*

*1. STOP FRAUD, CORRUPTION AND SHODDY WORK*
No more sub-standard pipes. No more patchwork repairs that leak again in 3 days. Do honest work, do it 100% right the first time.

*2. TRAIN EVERYONE TO THE HIGHEST SKILL LEVEL*
Stop deploying unskilled people. Train your staff properly - in the field, not just on paper.

*3. STOP THE PLUMBERS TEST - IT IS A GATEKEEPING TOOL*
That test keeps certain people out of jobs. Anyone can memorize answers and pass, but they have NO practical skills to do the plumbing work. We need *practical skills tests*, not paper tests. If a man can fix a leak properly, he is a plumber. Period.

*4. MAKE WATER CHEAPER AND FAIR - EVERYONE MUST PAY*
Let's get serious - get water to everyone at a cheaper and fair price. And *everyone must pay for water*. No free rides. If everyone pays fairly, the price can come down for everyone.

*5. GET RID OF PLUMBING CONTRACTORS*
We are tired of contractors who do shoddy work and charge millions. Build internal capacity. Use our own people.

*6. DIVIDE ETHEKWINI WATER INTO 4 REGIONS*
Manage it properly. 4 regions, 4 managers, 4 accountable teams. Smaller regions mean faster response and better service.

*7. STOP OVERTIME - IT IS BEING ABUSED*
No more overtime. Overtime is abused and is a tool for corruption. Instead, *employ 3 or 4 shifts* - whatever is best for eThekwini. Create more jobs and deliver 24-hour service.

*8. INSTALL TRACKERS AND LIVE MONITORING*
Install *trackers on

*A Word to the People of Wentworth 🙏
*Saturday 11 July 2026(Anthony Jean-louis)

Family of Wentworth,

It’s time.
*It’s time for Wentworth community leaders to come together as one.*

God did not place us in Wentworth by accident. He planted us here, on this soil, for such a time as this. _Ecclesiastes 4:9_ says, _“Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor.”_ When we stand divided, we build slowly. When we stand together, we build legacy.

*Wentworth, we are called to build.*
Let us come together and demarcate areas in our community to build facilities that will benefit every child, every parent, every elder.

Imagine a Wentworth where:
- We have *a shopping mall* where our money circulates in our community
- *A banking mall* so our businesses can grow with dignity
- *An industrial section* that creates jobs for our youth
- *A service center for transport* that connects us safely
- *A fruit and vegetable market* where our farmers and traders can feed the nation

*Wentworth, we are called to share.*
Let Wentworth be divided into equal parts so *Spaza shops* can be erected to service every street. No area left behind. No family forgotten.

Let every road allocate *an informal traders table* for someone to operate. Because when one of us eats, we all eat. When one of us rises, we all rise. _Galatians 6:2_ — _“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”_

Leaders, business owners, mothers, youth, elders...
*Wentworth must work together as one.* Not by tribe, not by street, not by politics. But as children of God, as one community, with one vision.

The bricks are in our hands. The land is ours. The time is now.

Let’s stop waiting for someone else to build Wentworth.
*Let’s build it together. For us. By us. With God.*

I believe in Wentworth. I believe in you.
With love and faith,
_One of you, standing with you._
