Morero under pressure over Johannesburg’s prolonged water shortages

Dry taps, rising anger: Johannesburg residents demand answers from Morero

Morero under pressure over Johannesburg’s prolonged water shortages

The People's Water Forum in Johannesburg has staged protests and released a list of demands, calling for urgent action from the government to address the city's prolonged water shortages. Residents and community organisations have been experiencing water outages of up to 10 days, low pressure, and throttling, which have significantly impacted daily life and business operations.

The forum demands an emergency plan detailing affected areas, interventions, responsible authorities, and restoration timelines, while emphasizing water as a constitutional right that should not be a privilege.
