(JP) BLOEMHOF WATER PROBLEME.... Five babies were admitted for observation in hospital after water contamination claimed the life of a baby in Bloemhof, the North West health department said on Friday. The babies were kept for observation because their immune systems were weak, spokesperson Tebogo Lekgethwane said. This came after a baby died on Wednesday after contracting severe diarrhoea from the contamination. More than 200 people were treated in clinics this week for diarrhoea in the water-depleted town. The water is back [on] in the area. However, residents are encouraged to boil their water. The municipality will continue to test the water, Lekgethwane said.
