Benewens water is elektrisiteit ook ‘n enorme probleem op Harrismith en het dit sekere besighede op die dorp tot R120 000 vir 12 dae aan kragopwekkers gekos. Weer eens het gewone mense, inwoners, nie teruggedeins nie en self ingespring om dit te herstel. Hulle hanteer ook hulle eie vullisverwydering. It's not just water, that is a problem in Harrismith. Electricity is a huge problem as well. Some businesses in town paid up to R120 000 for 12 days for generators to keep the lights on. Once again the residents took it upon themselves to fix it. They also handle their own refuse removal.

Harrismith is eens die juweel van die Oos-Vrystaat genoem. Soos ‘n reuse hoeveelheid plattelandse dorpe in die land, het Harrismith ook verval. Die Maluti-a-Phofung-munisipaliteit al jare onder administrasie, maar dinge het net slegter en slegter gegaan. Die inwoners van die dorp het egter besluit genoeg is genoeg en self ingespring – tot groot ontsteltenis van die munisipaliteit. Harrismith was once called the jewel of the Eastern Free State. Like other towns in the country side, Harrismith also deteriorated. The Maluti-a-Phofung municipality has been placed under administration for many years, but the situation went from bad to worse. Harrismith’s residents decided enough is enough and started fixing things that need to be fixed. Die Harrismith Water Heroes is ‘n groep inwoners wat self die watertoevoer na die dorp herstel het. Petrus van Eeden, ‘n besproeïngsboer van die distrik en Samuel Twala, voorsitter van die Water Heroes, werk sy aan sy met ander inwoners om die water aan die vloei te hou. The Water Heroes from Harrismith is a group of residents that restored the water supply to the town. Petrus van Eeden is an irrigation farmer from the district and Samuel Twala, chairperson of the Water Heroes work side by side with residents to keep the water flowing. |
