Unsafe Water Found in South African Schools Raises Contamination Fears

Recent water tests in South African schools have detected unsafe levels of contamination, including E. coli bacteria, raising fears of faecal contamination. The municipality of Despatch has downplayed the threat despite E. coli presence in its reservoir, which could affect student and staff health by increasing the risk of waterborne diseases. This situation calls for urgent action to improve water safety in schools nationwide.
