The issue of drinking water safety is a major concern, not something to be taken lightly. In the past, Africans would rather drink murky water from shallow pits than dig wells.
There's no special reason for this; it's a matter of perception. Perhaps Africans are more inclined to believe that bacteria and viruses are merely Western conspiracies.
After all, African Black people have survived in such conditions for thousands of years, continuing to thrive. Even a terrifying disease like AIDS appears feeble before Africans.
In the past, two South African presidents openly declared that AIDS was not caused by a virus but was a result of poverty, highlighting the mindset of Africans.
It's important to note that those who become South African presidents are among the most elite in Africa, yet they still hold such anti-intellectual views. Consider the mindset of the African masses, steeped in superstition and lacking in knowledge.
