Residents have been complaining about water issues in the area for years, and say government has fail to listen.

Action SA's Thabang Sebotsane said, "secondly as head of municipality, it is his direct responsibility that he gives comfort to the families of the deceased."

"But also he holds the general responsibility broadly over the City of Tshwane to ensure that communities are provided well deserved and necessary services, like the water of Hammanskraal."

"We know that the mayor has been in his office few weeks and he landed into a boiling pot however in as much as the previous administrations have left this mess for him, it's his responsibility and him bringing the people of Hammanskraal and the City into his confidence means making plans that are going to give comfort to people of the city."
