702, Tuesday morning

Any greater example of our failing infrastructure woes than what we are now seeing with wastewater treatment plants? Yeah, the wastewater treatment plants are in a terrible state. I don't know if you know this, but we laid criminal charges against the city of Joburg about three years ago because of two of its big wastewater treatment works just spewing sewage into the Klip River. And I think that I have to admit, though, Bongani, that the tap water in Johannesburg.

At the moment, it is still quite drinkable. I still would drink the water in the tap in Joburg and not in London because they privatized and messed it up there.

And it seems there are now vested interests who don't want our water to function as normal because they are scoring.

Absolutely. And this is my fear, right? Is that they didn't just sprout up with the Joburg issues. The water mafia have been around with KZN and Eastern Cape much longer than when it hit Joburg.
