One year ago, many officials denied we had a water crisis. Today, every single one acknowledges it. Recognition is a start, but it’s not enough. Acknowledgment must become action. 💧 #watercan #waterjustice #accountabilitynow

The WATER Accountability Crisis is REAL We demand accountability ✅ And we want less talk and more action We expect the Minister @DWS_RSA Pemmy Majodina, to release the Blue Drop and Green Drop reports this month 🔍 #WaterActionNow #waterjustice #accountabilitynow

Three weeks without water is a violation of basic human rights! @DadaMorero @CityofJoburgZA

HELLO TEACHERS 📚💧 Bring science into the classroom. Sign up your school for WaterCAN Schools Water Testing Week. Registration extended until 27 Feb. Limited spaces. zurl.co/paomw @KathradaFound @WESSA_za @NMBSTC

Organisation Profile: @WaterCANsa WaterCAN empowers communities across South Africa to test, understand, and advocate for safe water through citizen-led monitoring, education, and grassroots activism. In 2025, they expanded their national water testing network to more than 95 schools across six provinces, strengthening youth-led accountability and helping mobilise one of the largest water protests of the year. Water is a constitutional right, yet unsafe drinking water, sewage pollution, and failing infrastructure continue to harm vulnerable communities. This is not only an environmental crisis but also a social justice issue affecting health, dignity, education, and opportunity. You can get involved by becoming a volunteer water tester, forming a local water watch group, joining national testing campaigns, or supporting their work through donations.

Will you lock them up, @CyrilRamaphosa ? In #sona2026 , President Cyril Ramaphosa said municipal managers would be criminally charged in their personal capacity. We will be watching. ⏰ TikTok ⏰ TikTok #WaterCrisis #WaterSecurity #AccountabilityNow

Rand Water may demand a 3 months deposit of about R2.5 to R2.7bn from Johannesburg Water after repeated missed payments. That is about R1bn more than JW capex. National intervention is now unavoidable. #joburgwatercrisis zurl.co/O4b3R

Water = VotesThe election year will fuel the fast-tracking of projects. There is no mystery in why suddenly water is top of @PresidencyZA agenda. No Water means No Vote. Simple. Make sure you excercise your democratic rights and demand #waterjustice

Voters demand accountability beyond Elections 💧 Democracy requires listening all the time. 💧 Being heard builds accountability and better policy, not anger and hopelessness. See our statement: zurl.co/tWmY9 #SONA2026 #watercan #WaterJustice

#WaterCAN insights into #Sona2026 ⚫ Water crisis is governance failure, not drought ⚫ SONA focus is overdue — implementation is the test ⚫ No more “talk shops” — demand deadlines + public oversight ⚫ Joburg plan too small + copy-and-paste promises zurl.co/szokp

Joburg is living #DayZero. The Peoples Water Forum wrote to @PresidencyZA demanding an intervention and a national disaster declaration. Endorse Now via the link below. Read the Letter: zurl.co/RkTiz Endorse the Letter: zurl.co/082d8

We are in a crisis

Is Cyril's Jozi "intervention" a thing? Less Yadda Yadda is needed. Real Action requires Real Leadership. @PresidencyZA @CityofJoburgZA @GautengProvince @DadaMorero @Lesufi @CyrilRamaphosa #joburgwatercrisis #joburgcan

*WaterCAN welcomes Presidency’s recognition of Joburg crisis; demands disaster declaration* ⚫ Our demand now: The President must declare Johannesburg a disaster ⚫ We won’t stop #joburgwatercrisis #WaterCAN #SONA zurl.co/g5h4k

@WaterCANsa's @ferrial_adam tells Mayor Dada Morero that Johannesburg is effectively on “Day Zero,” warning that prolonged outages have left residents without reliable water for weeks. #WaterCrisis #Ourcitynews #nowaterjhb/MN
