🚱 It's National Water Week, and Hursthill 2 Reservoir is battling to recover, leaving Joburg residents with dry taps. The DA has escalated this issue to the City Manager — and we will not stop holding the executive accountable. #NoDryTapsJoburg #Zille4Mayor

Why are @Lesufi, @DadaMorero and @Rand_Water so determined to keep residents deprived of water? Our dams are overflowing. Yet Rand Water refuses to increase pumping while communities run dry. This is not a shortage of bulk water. This is a failure of political will. #NoDryTapsJoburg

People in Johannesburg need to understand: The DA could get 40%. And Action SA could get 4%. Yet Mashaba could become Mayor - effectively acting as the non-executive chairman of an ANC-MK-EFF-PA-ACTION coalition. Very similar to Nasiphi Moya in Tshwane.

🚱Many areas in Joburg are still battling with no access to water. The Department of Water and Sanitation recently approved additional water abstractions for Rand Water after the DA called for this action on 11 Feb. It is currently unclear if the water has been channelled into Joburg Water as there is little to no recovery of systems like the Commando System. While communication remains a challenge, the DA will continue to push for transparency during this water crisis. #NoDryTapsJoburg #Zille4Mayor #BelieveInJoburg

Good evening. Apologies for the silence yesterday and earlier today, especially with so many Gauteng residents still without water. I want you to know this has had my full attention. I’ve been engaging intensively with DA leaders in affected municipalities, our Gauteng legislature team, and fellow parliamentarians, including colleagues working on COGTA matters, to push for immediate support and clearer coordination. I understand how desperate and angry people are. No household should be left without water for days on end. While the DA does not run the affected municipalities or the province, we are working to ensure practical assistance is brought in from outside the failing systems, and that officials are held accountable for delays, poor communication, and slow recovery. I’m pushing for verified updates and concrete commitments, and I expect to share more detail tomorrow.

While we battle without water, ANC MMC Jack Sekwaila is asleep at the wheel There have been no proper interventions, no proper timelines, and no adequate feedback on this water crisis. Is anybody home?! @JHBWater @CityofJoburgZA @DadaMorero

WATCH | DA mayoral candidate for Johannesburg, Helen Zille, says there is a need for bigger capital and maintenance budgets for the city to deal with service delivery issues. She says the billing system is in chaos.

The ANC/PA/EFF/Rise/Al Jama-ah coalition government, both in the City and the Province, is failing to enforce the law, keep communities clean, and protect residents’ quality of life and dignity. As the Democratic Alliance, we are taking this issue head-on and fighting for residents so that we can live in safer, cleaner communities. #believeinJoburg

City Power is forcing residents to convert their prepaid electricity meters to postpaid meters. This is the same entity that has squandered ratepayers’ money and continue to face massive financial losses due to corruption.

@Patriot_S_A Helen Zille is the only person who can ensure Joburg is turned around

People of Johannesburg, who should become your Mayor? Retweet for Herman Mashaba Like for Helen Zille

Traffic lights expired with the G20. What is a girl to do?,

⚠️The DA in Johannesburg vehemently rejects yet another reckless loan proposal in Council. The City cannot be saved by more debt. #BelieveInJoburg

This project should already be delivering water security to Brixton and surrounding areas. Instead, it’s stalled at the finish line thanks to Mayor Dada Morero’s failure to pay. Joburg can’t survive more ANC mismanagement.

🚨DA Joburg Mayoral candidate @helenzille is on the ground witnessing the mess Joburg residents are forced to endure while resources are poured into G20 Summit routes. Residents deserve service delivery too. #BelieveInJoburg #Zille4Mayor

Despite repeated assurances from Johannesburg Water management and the Executive Mayor, repairs to the Hursthill 2 Reservoir have still not commenced. This continued delay is unacceptable, residents deserve reliable water infrastructure. We will keep fighting until this project is prioritised and work finally begins. 💧 #NoDryTapsJoburg #DAatWork

@helenzille addresses the Joburg caucus with vision. The path to a better city is clear, and we’re ready to lead it. 🇿🇦#BelieveInJoburg

Ongoing water supply failures at Brixton Reservoir, Tower & across the Commando system continue to devastate communities. Together with Stephen Moore MP, we will continue holding the Mayor accountable until a permanent solution to this water crisis is secured. 💧

🚀 The DA is proud to announce Helen Zille as the 2026 Johannesburg Mayoral Candidate! A leader, ready to restore hope, unite residents, deliver quality services and real opportunities for all the people. #BelieveInJoburg #DAatWork

We are ready to work with you Gogo @helenzille @Our_DA Bye bye Dada, Hello Gogo #IBelieveInJoburg
