'Gauteng doesn't have a water crisis', but more sinister plans afoot, says EFF | The Citizen

“Water is an essential basic need for life and economic purposes. Businesses that rely on water and electricity for production and services are struggling to cope with the rolling electricity outages, and adding restrictions aggravates an already desperate situation.”

“Imposing restrictions on hospitals, clinics, schools, and creches to a point where there’s a shortage of water to drink and flush toilets poses a severe health and sanitation risk to vulnerable people,” the EFF said.The party said while Gauteng dams levels are over 90% and anticipating a rainy period, Gauteng does not have a crisis.“The nefarious agenda to privatise Eskom by compromising its capacity to continuously supply electricity also directly impacts the country’s supply.

This is owed to the utility’s uninterrupted load shifting from the Eikenhof pump station to recover the Palmiet system. Around 17 million people rely on water supplied by Rand Water. On average, each person in Gauteng consumes over 300 litres a day – compared to the global average of 173 litres.

Obviously as with everything else it's a leadership problem, and we know that the anc structures haven't got the ability to do the work they are paid for. Part of corruption.

The eff wouldn't know a crisis if it slapped them on the head with a red helmet
