NO SOURCE: 48 CASES CONFIRMED IN TSHWANE THIS YEAR
The City of Tshwane has not yet determined the source of the typhoid outbreak as no Salmonella typhi could be found in any of the drinking water sources tested.
"The investigations and interventions will continue until such time that the root cause of the disease has been established," said Tshwane spokesperson Lindela Mashigo.
He said although the surge in confirmed typhoid cases have indicated that most of these were from informal and rural settlements, the drinking water samples taken and tested have not determined an epidemiological link between these cases.
Mashigo said Tshwane district has reported a total of 48 cases of typhoid since the beginning of 2025, of which 15 were reported in October, with no new cases reported in the last week of October.
