Is Johannesburg On The Brink of a Water Supply Catastrophe?

As Johannesburg grapples with a 10-day water outage affecting numerous suburbs, concerns are escalating over the city's water supply stability.

Johannesburg Mayor Kabelo Gwamanda is set for crisis talks amid reports that some residents remain without water, prompting fears of a potential water supply catastrophe. While Johannesburg Water claims that most affected reservoirs have recovered, ongoing issues in specific areas are attributed to heightened demand exacerbated by high temperatures.

Residents in Blairgowrie, facing water scarcity since a lightning strike on March 3, are preparing to protest, emphasizing their extreme dissatisfaction with the lack of communication and urgency in resolving the crisis. The situation raises crucial questions about the city's ability to address and prevent a worsening water supply catastrophe.
