Gauteng Premier Urges Action Amid Water Crisis Threatening System Collapse

Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi voices apprehension regarding the persisting water crisis in parts of the province. Rand Water issues a plea for residents to conserve water as the system faces severe strain, posing a risk of complete collapse. Specifically, water levels in the City of Tshwane plummeted below 30% over the weekend, prompting the urgent closure of water supply to specific reservoirs. Lesufi calls on stakeholders to address the situation promptly, setting a deadline for resolution by the week’s end.
