Randburg’s Five-Year Water Leaks

Johannesburg Water has failed, for more than five years, to repair a single water leak while the City loses almost half of its water before it gets to household and business taps, due to collapsing infrastructure. This is not due to a shortage of resources alone, but to a chronic shortage of leadership and management.

While officials cry “lack of resources” to fix collapsing water infrastructure, the real problem is negligence, a lack of accountability, and political indifference from the leadership that should be serving residents and businesses.

This week, RISE Mzansi’s Municipal Task Team conducted an oversight visit to Elsie Road and Malibongwe Drive, where residents have logged calls for over five years without action. Only after sustained pressure from RISE Mzansi did Johannesburg Water act.

A water leak left unattended for five years is not just a failure of maintenance, it is a symbol of failed governance. It proves that the City has abandoned its people, eroding trust and leaving residents and businesses with no faith in public entities.

RISE Mzansi therefore reiterates its call for the disbandment of all dysfunctional entity boards that continue to fail residents with no consequence.

We urge residents of Johannesburg not to reward uncaring politicians. Demand accountability, and elect leaders who will put residents first.

Minister Creecy and the senior management of ACSA must be called to report to committee on the scope of the brewing crisis, and their plans to address it. It is unacceptable that flights are being grounded at South African airports due to failures by entities within the Department of Transport. It simply cannot continue. This week, flights were delayed and diverted at Cape Town International Airport due to a fuel pump failure under the management of Airports Company South Africa (ACSA). Earlier this month, alarming reports revealed that ACSA has fuel supply at OR Tambo International Airport only until the end of January 2025, raising grave concerns about operational stability in February.
