Water Crisis at Motherwell Court: Delays, Health Risks, and Collaborative Solutions
A severe water shortage at the Motherwell magistrates court in Gqeberha, Eastern Cape, has led to daily closures and massive case backlogs due to lack of running water for toilets and handwashing. The issue, caused by low pressure in the shared supply line and municipal technical glitches, has resulted in delays that violate rights to speedy trials and pose health risks, particularly for women in custody. The justice department, along with multiple agencies, is working on a dedicated backup water system and considering shifting bail court to another facility to alleviate the strain.
