The University of Limpopo students are currently reporting to the management about the diarrhea they are experiencing after drinking water from the taps.

It is said that some are having stomach ache, diarrhea and others vomiting.

The University of Limpopo says its Health and Wellness Centre has noted cases of diarrhea on campus, following several consultations by students with such symptoms.

Communication head Selepe Mosela says that the University is actively investigating the source of these symptoms and water contamination cannot be ruled out.

“Therefore, all members of the University community are advised to take necessary precautions, including the boiling of water before consumption. These measures are advised until a comprehensive REPORT is available, confirming whether the suspected diarrhea cases are linked to the campus water supply”, Selepe said.
