The City has finally acted on a 3.5-year-old water leak following a swim visit by Helen Zille, but residents are asking: if the resources were always available, why were they left to endure years of disruption?

#Joburg’s outages are what you get when the system bleeds water.
Leaks waste around 425 ML of water daily, almost 75 litres per resident.
No network can recover like this, so reservoirs drop and high-lying areas run dry first.
Fix leaks and ramp up maintenance now.

The @CityofJoburgZA is living DAY ZERO.
Why? Underinvestment, poor maintenance, weak planning + no accountability.
The people are speaking up in Melville / Westdene / Parktown West / Emmarentia.
Declare a disaster.
