The suspension of water supply for more than a week, to one of the largest municipal markets in the country, affects workers who are in more than 530 commercial establishments . According to traders, water has not flown from the taps for more than a week and the market management prefers to remain silent on the matter, which harms sellers who find it difficult to use the toilets and to wash their your vegetables. Without water for personal hygiene and food products, the situation becomes complicated at the Maputo Central Market. “We are working devastated and with many difficulties, we haven’t had water for days, we feel sick to go to the bathroom, we don’t even have water to drink and the worst of all is that we pay fees every day”, report the sellers. The lack of water in the Central Market is an old problem. “In the month of May, we had the same problems, we went about two weeks without water and we only heard that the water was cut off due to non-payment of some bills, days later they went to pay and we had water again, but this seems to be becoming a habit and we’re feeling sick, the bathroom needs water, most of the things we sell here need water, we’re embarrassing in this market”. The sellers also ask whoever is entitled to solve the problem as soon as possible, because according to them “without water there is no life” and the situation is increasingly worrying considering that the market is large. However, “Carta” tried unsuccessfully to listen to the management of the Maputo Central Market to get their version of the frequent water cuts. Remember that this is the second time this year that the Maputo Central Market has run out of water, and the first cut took place in May, causing sellers to stay two weeks and were forced to resort to sewage water to continue to your business.
