Rand Water’s failures leave tens of thousands of taps dry – it’s time to act!
28 June 2024
The Democratic Alliance (DA) in Gauteng refuses to accept Rand Water’s failures any longer.
Yet again, tens of thousands of taps have run dry across Gauteng due to their negligence in ensuring adequate infrastructure. It has become evident that this state-owned entity is unable to provide the essential service that it was established for.
In October of 2023 the DA urged intervention from the then Minister of Water in Rand Water’s failing executive. Thousands signed a petition calling for the ousting of an ineffective executive – nothing happened.
Now, Johannesburg, Ekurhuleni, and Mogale City’s taps are dry.
