Retirement village demands action from Joburg Water

Maxhaven Retirement Village residents in Cresta are frustrated with Johannesburg Water after facing several water outages and having to deal with damaged infrastructure. The elderly residents of the village have raised concerns about their safety.

Ward 98 councillor Beverly Jacobs expressed deep concern over the situation. “The safety and wellbeing of our elderly residents is important, and the current state of the infrastructure in this area is unacceptable. We have been reporting the pavement and other reinstatements on this road for a very long time. It’s a huge safety risk.”

Lindiwe Ndlovu, a worker at the retirement village, expressed her worry for the residents' safety. “We don’t have water a lot. It is a challenge for us because the elderly are vulnerable and need to have water. Johannesburg Water comes and they just fix the water. They do not fix the holes that they make. They just leave them like that.”

“It looks very ugly outside our village now and how will people be comfortable staying here or leaving their loved ones here when Johannesburg Water has left it looking like this?”
