702, Monday evening

Of Johannesburg have demanded accountability on the water crisis from the city's leadership. Mayor Dada Morero is attending a community engagement with Joburg Waters and Javinikuebo. Similar to several parts of the city, residents at that part of Johannesburg have battled low water pressure and even dry taps over the last week. Humuza Modise is in Crown Gardens and joins us now live. Humuzo, what news from Crown Gardens? Well, sir, the meeting and the local community center here has been

Fairly calm this evening with residents waiting patiently for their turn to ask questions. However, there have been several flare-ups here in the community hall. At some point, this resident marched to the very front of the hall, demanding that the mayor give them answers. Why, after all the years, has there been no structured process planning to ensure that this problem is still not an ongoing problem? Over the 90 billion rand budget that was passed in city council, what was the plan?

That was in place to ensure that this problem is fixed. And the ANC and Action SA must come clean about the 777 million that's been given to the water mafia within the city of Johannesburg. We must not shy away from that. Now, good show that Council Speaker Margaret Arnold moved to correct that resident pointing out that Action SA is.

Actually, not part of the leadership of the city. Since among the pertinent questions that have been asked by residents is whether the city is experiencing watershedding and for how long the water cuts are expected to persist, we heard Mayor Garamuero apologizing to residents for the inconvenience.
