In #Gauteng, water inequallity is now visible. The #watercan submission to the @SAHRCommission focused on Johannesburg, but we urge the commission to provide scrutiny of all the other Gauteng municipalities #waterjusticenow

@WaterCANsa @JHBWater @helenzille who gives Rand water the right to reduce their water provision to JHBwater so that peoples basic human rights are deprived while JHBwater shifts water to try manage a political fight. Can we sue Rand water for breaching our constitutional rights.

WATCH: The heart of #WaterCAN's submission focuses on the @CityofJoburgZA and #JoburgWater. #JoburgWater's financial position is compromised and will continue to be compromised until financial decisions are made to ensure delivery of services to people happens. @SAHRCommission

@JHBWater @WaterCANsa R300m later the development Brixton reservoir and tower built to provide stability to commando system has failed. Day 3 no water in Brixton. Not a single truth sent out about the situation. Apparently supplying fairly means NO WATER

Around 70% of Emfuleni’s supplied water is unaccounted for. That is not a small leak. It points to a collapse of water management in the heart of the Vaal Triangle. Residents deserve answers, #WaterJustice #Emfuleni @DailyInvestorSA zurl.co/eCPOo

Before the next shutdown, Joburg residents deserve answers. More than a week after Rand Water's maintenance ended, parts of the Commando system are still recovering. #JoburgWater #WaterJustice zurl.co/HhnAC
