Johannesburg Executive Mayor Dada Morero says the citys rapid growth over the past decade has added strain to its water supply. Residents are bearing the brunt of the crisis, facing crippling water cuts and shortages.
South Africa as a whole grapples with a dire water crisis, driven by crumbling infrastructure, drought, and high consumption, particularly in Gauteng, Western Cape, Eastern Cape, and Limpopo.
Morero earlier spoke to the SABC regarding tackling the crisis at hand. He says they are working on building new structures while repairing the old reservoirs in Joburg.
