In a telephone interview with The Monitor recently, the Union’s general secretary Ketlhalefile Motshegwa said they have uncovered a horrendous state of water crisis at the Moshupa Sub Council, which has been on-going for quite some time.

He said they have written to the senior assistant council secretary about the issue.
