Residents of Tsumeb are advised to continue boiling water for consumption.

This was said by the town's chief executive officer, Victoria Kapenda.

Since last year, Tsumeb residents have been having serious water issues as a result of underground water contamination.

Dundee Precious Metals, which operates a copper smelting plant in the town, also confirmed that the water had high microbiological traces.

The process of shock chlorination, or the disinfection of water sources, led to an improvement in the water quality compared to last year.
