JOHANNESBURG - after almost two weeks without water, frustrated residents of Bedfordview in Ekurhuleni municipality have voiced their complaints about not receiving services they’ve paid for.
Ward councillor Jill Ada Humphreys has stated that the community has received no communication from Rand Water regarding the ongoing outage.
Humphreys says the situation has been escalated to Parliament with the hope of getting more answers about this crisis.
“As far as Rand Water is concerned, it's pretty much radio silence. They don't want us to know what they're doing and how they're doing it and how much they're spending. We resort to asking questions in Parliament to try to get answers about a government entity like that that is not a municipality.”
