Tshwane is the epicentre of cholera outbreak, says Phaahla

PRETORIA - Health Minister Joe Phaahla says Tshwane is considered the current epicentre of the cholera outbreak.

Phaahla says the first cholera patient is a 56-year-old man from Musina who started complaining abdominal pains 5 days after arriving in Hammanskraal.

Meanwhile, Phaahla says tests on four water sources in the Free State were deemed non-compliant.

Phaahla says this was due to the fact that the water contained too much chlorine.
