This was the warning from Malebo Kobe, a member of the parliamentary portfolio committee on water and sanitation, where Morero appeared on Friday to explain his plans to tackle the city’s worsening water crisis. That’s a commitment that the government should be able to make, which means working with Johannesburg Water to ensure that water is supplied. He added that Johannesburg Water does communicate on a daily basis with residents. “Please can you elaborate on why it was taken from Johannesburg Water and specifically what other expenses were deemed more important than communities without water for weeks at a time? “I’ve looked through Johannesburg Water’s plans to turn this situation around and I’m confident that given the resources, Johannesburg Water is capable of addressing this crisis,” Moore said.
