Based on the latest Rand Water (RW) storage graph I have, it appears RW is currently managing outputs (throttling) to stabilise and rebuild system storage. - The red line (service reservoir storage as a % of total capacity) shows a sustained decline through January, with sharper

@zaksmills @jo_horwitz @JHBWater Sorry Zakiyya. That's beyond frustrating. The reality is that it is genuinely hard for Joburg Water to provide concrete responses if I'm right about Rand Water throttling supply. But that doesn't make it easier or fair for you and the many others without water.

#Alex is a nightmare of biblical proportions - which is so unfair to the amazing people that live there!

#KaraboMbokodo You spoke to him so politely even when he was accusing you of flooking him. Taking on abuse of patrimony where ever we find it is a cause worth fighting for if we want our girls and women to grow up knowing they also have an innate value
🇿🇦 Day 2 of Oversight. I was convinced this man was going to moer me. Some misogynistic & arrogant student accommodation provider almost moered me because he didn't want to respond to ceiling maintenance issues at his accommodation. He yelled at me thinking I'm scared of men

BDE David was a brilliant person, someone I became in awe of once I had the honour of meeting him. Sad to see we have lost a gentleman and a super activist. He will be greatly missed.
🕊️ | The DA Gauteng mourns the passing of David Quail, a former member of the Gauteng Provincial Legislature. We are thankful to David for his unwavering commitment to help shape the future of Gauteng. May his precious soul rest in peace.

Under ANC-led coalition with ActionSA, Tshwane water tanker spending exploded by 455% to R777m, while water losses rose to 40%. Residents get tankers instead of taps. These are clear signs of mafia capture and self-inflicted crisis. This money could’ve easily been used to improve
