Businessman withdraws water delivery trucks from Tongaat amid threats
Post
|February 25, 2026
A BUSINESSMAN who has been delivering water to Tongaat residents for five years, has withdrawn his trucks after threats emerged from a Facebook post accusing him of corruption.
Ricky Naidoo, the owner of Venk-Pac, said the decision was prompted by fear for the safety of his staff and trucks. He said the post was from an anonymous person on the “Tongaat and All Original” Facebook group.
The controversy began with a post which complained about ongoing water outages in the area.
“Water is gone off in the village again. Can I ask any Sars officials to investigate these corrupt trucks that are delivering water to Tongaat areas and cut all their petrol claims out, then we will have water in our taps,” the post read.
In a comment under that post, an anonymous user escalated the matter, targeting who described as an “Indian man”.
“Boss this Indian guy is corrupt with eThekwini and most probably Sars too. We need to start revolting and burn these trucks that come.”
Naidoo says the reference was clearly directed at him.
