Civilization is Too Technical & Complicated for ANC as Residents Are Charged for Air in Water Pipes!

Posted on Leave a comment

Socialist Elitism in South Africa has finally achieved its aim of charging people for air, literally! Residents of Vanderbijlpark & Emfuleni are paying exorbitant bills for air coming through the water pipes, instead of water. All this because the minority are excluded from managing their own affairs, utilities and resources, so they are at the mercy of the incompetence, standards and values of the parasitic ANC and its self serving cadres & supporters.

Residents of Vanderbijlpark can expect huge water bills at the end of the month, even though in many cases water does not even come out of the pipes because there are frequent water outages in the area, and parts of the town are currently without water.

Peter Verbeek, the DA councilor for the SW5 and SW6 area in Vanderbijlpark, who is currently experiencing water interruptions, told Netwerk24 that it is actually air that enters the water pipes, that makes the water bills

EVERYONE Suffers from ANC Corruption & Looting – Water Pressure Being Cut by 20% in Three Provinces Due To Municipal Debts Caused By Corruption!

Posted on Leave a comment

The endemic, systematic and structural way of ANC politicians looting, as if there is no tomorrow, has resulted in water shedding in 3 provinces. This typical feed-at-the-trough subsistence approach, while there are still any funds left in the bank account, has now resulted in a bulk water provider – Rand Water – cutting the water pressure to 3 municipalities in 3 provinces. Yet still it seems they just cannot work out why Verwoerd is still smiling…

Rand Water has informed 3 municipalities that they are going to cut the water pressure to them by about 20% from Monday, due to huge amounts of debt owed to them by these municipalities. This will of course result in lower pressure water coming out of taps which will also impact on  things like businesses, domestic appliances and even fire fighting efforts, due to reduced water pressure available to firefighters. High lying areas could be left without water completely.

The areas are Ngwat

Water Shortages Arrived in Mpumalanga Towns To Stay – Sundra, Eloff and Rietkol Have Sporadic Water For A Year Now

Posted on Leave a comment

Water shortages have become a very real reality for the residents of the neighbouring towns of Sundra, Rietkol and Eloff in Mpumalanga. The towns have been experiencing regular periods in which the water just stops flowing, for a year now . Local resident, Derek Bester, says water supply is unequal and sporadic with lower lying parts left without water for hours per day, and higher parts left without water for weeks at a time.

Residents are surviving using various means like sharing water from drill holes, getting water from farmers in the area and collecting water from their roofs. Those who don’t have any means of getting water on their own have to go to collective water tanks irregularly filled by the local ANC controlled municipality. The neighbourhood watch is delivering water to people without transport like old people in the towns. Afriforum is distributing 5 L cans containing drinking water at no cost.

Amanda Brandow of Sundra says that

Fill up your water buckets and containers, 54-hour water shutdown looming for Joburg residents

Posted on Leave a comment
No water

Level 2 water restrictions imposed in Johannesburg – residents will be with limited water for two days from next Monday, Joburg Water has advised.

Rand Water, which is the city’s main bulk water supplier, plans a major shutdown on June 24 that will affect all reservoirs supplying water to the city, Environment and Infrastructure Services MMC Nico de Jager said in a statement on Tuesday.

The shutdown will last for 54 hours.

“The shutdown is on the B11 pipeline to install a 2 500mm butterfly valve from Lethabo to Vereeniging pumping station and this will result in the limited water supply to all Rand Water customers,” said De Jager.

He said the shutdown did not mean that there would be no water during the 54-hour shutdown period, but that some areas may experience a shortage of water or low pressure.

In April, a similar planned shutdown was postponed, News24 reported.

Johannesburg Water has appealed to

Another ANC failure: Water shutdown notice – Gauteng taps could start running dry as Stage 4 load shedding drags on

Posted on Leave a comment

It would take just two consecutive days of Stage 4 load shedding at two of its most sensitive pumping stations to lead to a water shortage, Gauteng’s bulk water supplier Rand Water says.

Until this week Stage 4 electricity rationing was almost unheard of, but Eskom implemented the measure on both Sunday and Monday, with no clear answers on when it would be able to fully meet demand again.

That makes water shedding a distinct possibility, even though Gauteng dam levels are high, with the Vaal Dam at 71% and the Sterkfontein dam 93.9% full.

Reservoirs are already below the ideal 60% to 80% level due to the recent heatwave and capacity constraints, spokesperson Justice Mohale said in response to Business Insider questions.

“Any disturbance with load shedding therefore affects pumping which is designed as a 24 hour continuous operation.”
