HealthSouth Africa water crisis: E. coli contamination leaves hundreds ill

More than 400 people, mostly children, have fallen ill after E. coli contaminated the water supply in Tshwane, South Africa. The crisis was linked to a shortage of chlorine at a treatment plant. Residents report dirty water and difficulty finding safe alternatives, while the government has procured chlorine and promised water tankers; many families say bottled water is unaffordable.
