You know that people can google ‘south Africa tap water’, right?
First result from southafrica.net: ‘tap water is safe to drink in urban areas’. So even the official sources are claiming only urban areas to be safe. If you scroll down to the 2nd result it says ‘47 % of municipal tap water is now classified as non-revenue water’ and ‘46 % of the drinking water systems are safe to drink’
Pretty sure it’s like that in a lot of places… But, even when living 200km from civilization, in a tiny town in the desert, the water from the tap was safe to drink. In the 34 years I lived there I never once got sick from drinking water from the tap.
