Disgruntled residents, activists to protest at Joburg Water’s HQ
WaterCAN's Ferrial Adam says authorities have not done enough to prepare for increased water demand
Disgruntled residents and civic activists plan to stage a protest outside Johannesburg Water's headquarters in Johannesburg on Monday morning. The demonstration is set to draw attention to ongoing water shortages and the perceived disparity in access to water services throughout the city. WaterCAN Executive Manager, Dr Ferrial Adam, expressed disappointment with authorities for not adequately preparing for increased water demand during the summer months.
She noted that while everyone, including Jo'burg Water and the city, are aware of the heightened usage and demand during this period, the lack of adequate preparation is concerning.
