Johannesburg Mayor to Meet Ward Councillors Over Tenth Day Water Outage Crisis

Johannesburg Mayor Kabelo Gwamanda is scheduled to convene a meeting with ward councillors to address the ongoing water outage, now entering its tenth day. More than 20 suburbs have endured over a week without water. Johannesburg Water has reported some progress in reservoir recovery efforts, but challenges persist, exacerbated by increased demand due to the heatwave. According to News24, Blairgowrie residents have been without water since a lightning strike on March 3. Frustrated by poor communication and perceived inaction, residents plan to stage a protest, demanding repair timelines and alternative water distribution methods.
