Today I put this directly to the Deputy President in Parliament:
If the same worst-affected communities in Johannesburg, such as #Melville, are still going without water for days on end, if critical projects are under threat because contractors are not being paid, and if Johannesburg Water still sits with hundreds of millions in overdue creditors, what difference is government’s intervention actually making?
#WaterCrisis #FixDryTaps
My vote isn't a secret.
Please vote for water in your tap!
I voted for the DA on both ballots.

1/4 Water-shedding is no longer a warning. It is happening in Gauteng.
Families in Johannesburg and Tshwane are going days without water as supply is restricted and throttled to protect dangerously low reservoirs.
And the latest figures show just how serious this is. Watch 👇
3/4 Our calculations indicate Joburg, Tshwane and Ekurhuleni lose around ONE BILLION litres of treated water daily through physical leaks.
Recovering just a quarter of that could almost eliminate their combined excess over Rand Water’s temporary supply limit restoring stability.
4/4 This is a crisis of failing infrastructure and accountability. Residents deserve functioning taps, not endless restrictions.
The DA has a plan to fix leaks, rebuild networks and stabilise supply.
On Wednesday, 4 November, vote #DA on both ballots.

🚨‼️Three days left.
On Wednesday 4 November, your vote decides between a DA government or more of the same coalition chaos.

Only the DA can fix your roads, deliver clean water, and bring more JOBS to your city 💙
We ask for your support on 4 November to get South Africa working for all 🗳️
1/5 🚰 ETHEKWINI: OVER 500 MILLION LITRES LOST EVERY DAY.
That's the estimated drinking water lost through physical failures in the metro's water system — the equivalent of over 120 litres for every resident, every day.
4/5 eThekwini needs an urgent, measurable programme of leak repairs, pipe replacement, pressure management and reservoir maintenance.

I've posted a long and detailed post on the history of Tshwane's water woes inspired by a challenge on a previous post.
This is the most important image.
Under the DA and Brink, things were getting better.
Under the current ASA/ANC coalition and Moya, things are getting worse.
12/13 Tshwane cannot afford another five years of accelerating infrastructure decay under unstable coalitions.
The #DA was turning the trend around; the current coalition has reversed it.
On 4 November, vote DA on BOTH ballots to rebuild the capital’s water network.
