Sophiatown residents in Johannesburg say the prolonged water shortages are impacting their lives and everyday activities in a negative way, highlighting incidents when they have had to miss work and church.
Last week, Sophiatown, Westbury, Coronationville and surrounding areas blocked roads with burning tyres during a protest over water outages. Mayor Dada Morero responded by saying that the water will be restored in seven days.
Speaking to SABC News , while filling water at a truck stationed at a local shopping centre on Sunday afternoon, resident Zamokwakhe Mkhize says he feels powerless as a citizen and rejects the mayors apology.
