Sol Plaatje University like the rest of Kimberley has been affected by the ongoing water crisis. As of this morning all our water reserves were depleted on campus, however, we have purchased water for our immediate needs.

It is still not clear when the water supply will be fully restored to the city so we need to use the water resources on campus sparingly.

The University water supply will be shut down daily from 17:00 to 07:00. There will however be grey water supplied for all toilets. But, the water supply could be shut down at other times during the course of a work day when levels are critically low.

We will continue to monitor the situation closely.
