Water supply interruptions and lack of access to clean water have been an ongoing crisis for many South African communities.
Recently Rand Water announced level 1 water restrictions affecting Gauteng residents, including some health facilities.
Also, residents of Ekurhuleni Municipality yesterday protested against the lack of water that has lasted several weeks with no end in sight.
Meanwhile, the South African Human Rights Commission released its KwaZulu-Natal Water Inquiry Report for 2022.
Among its various findings, the Commission found that KwaZulu-Natal municipalities and Water Service Authorities have violated residents’ right to access clean drinking water.
To talk more about the state of the country’s water and how much has the government fulfilled its constitutional mandate to provide clean drinking water, we are joined by Professor Anthony Turton from the Centre for Environmental Management at the University of Free State.

Get rid of this government! They have proven over and over and over they cannot run a country. They have destroyed all those SOE’s handed to them in perfect order by the National Party government; even Nelson Mandela acknowledged this in 1994!
Everything that falls under this government falls apart, no maintenance,..storm water drains are blocked to capacity waiting for the next storm to flood the country!
Why don't they fix the leaks all over Johannesburg? Many complaints, some as far back as two years, but nothing has been done to date!

Please remove all Rand water idiots currently in power and replace these incompetent idiots with engineers that are capable!

Stop talking to professors…they are not politicians…Get Domkop Steenhuisen so that he can explain to the voters how his Pack of Moon Domkoppe plan to fix this mess if they manage to take power in 2024….
South Hills Johannesburg, Welfare park. We have had no water for three weeks. It on at night and off again. Each day a new excuse how does it work. We have a basic right to the water we pay services and over charged even when no water in pipes. We have kids, elderly and sick people who cannot get a basic need. It happened last year as well when will it then be our right to water it is humanitarian.

Sadly, nobody in power is listening! Ramaphosa is under strict orders from the WEF to collapse South Africa and he is doing his job well, whilst he and his cronies grab as much State cash as they can before the country is destroyed.
